Inktober 31: Ripe
Since it’s Halloween, I thought I would do a witch, namely the one from Snow White. 
Inktober 30: Catch
Day 30 “catch” was a toss up… (see what I did there). I was going to do something with a fish, so I did a fastball.
Inktober 29: Injured
I wasn;’t sure where to go with this one, so I just settled on a sickly looking guy having a bad day.
Inktober 28: Ride
Tapping into my low brow roots for this one entitled Ride.
Inktober 27 Coat
Well with just under two hours to spare, I’ve finished. Here’s 27 COAT as in wolf in sheep’s clothing. 
Inktober 25: Tasty
It’s a dog eat dog world.
Inktober 24: Dizzy
Well I was on the road last week and as a result, I am a few days behind, but here’s day 24, dizzy.
Inktober 23, Ancient
I decided to go with my impression of a mummy for ancient because I was actually kind of stuck.
Inktober 22, Ghost
I believe in the supernatural, but I don’t believe in ghosts.
Inktober 20, Tread
When I saw the prompt “tread” I had a couple thoughts but given the state of current events, IU as taken back to this revolutionary slogan.
Inktober 19, Sling
Goliath was insulted when he saw the much smaller David. Then he was overconfident. I wonder what he thought when he saw the sling. Here’s the thing, his sword may have been bigger, but the projectile off a sling moved along fast and furious. Add the most important factor, God’s presence in the situation and in effect Goliath brought a knife to a gunfight.
Inktober 18, Misfit
Maybe you don’t fit in because you’re supposed to stand out.
Inktober 17, Ornament
I have no problem with a piercing or two, but what’s the limit? When do you become “orna-mental?”
Inktober 16, Wild
I’m a few days behind but catching up.
Inktober 12, Dragon
Like it when you get it.
Inktober 11, Snow
For as long as I can remember I have had a love/hate relationship with snow. When I was a kid, snow closed school, got me away from the bullies for a day or two and gave me the opportunity to sled, make snowmen and all the other stuff kids love, but then sooner or later we would get our assignment, “Go shovel the driveway!” and with that assignment went the love of snow. I hated shoveling and back then we used get immense storms sometimes. Back then the scientists were trying to prepare us for the next ice age, and a complete freeze, and when you were trying to shovel waist deep snow, it became easy to believe. Of course today they have pulled a complete 180 and talk about global warming. Back in the 70s this picture would have been my response.
So who’s right? Are we freezing or are we melting, or do we as I suspect really have no idea what is going on? Is it all just one more thing we’ve invented to keep us afraid now that the cold war is over? I have no idea and no one, not scientists, not politicians and certainly not the media can be trusted to tell us the truth, so I guess I’ll do what I’ve learned to do, trust God and live to make the world a better place.
Inktober 6, Husky
I didn’t want to create a dog, and I personally relate to being husky, so I didn’t want to go that way, but then this came to mind. I love creating original characters!
Beware of Artists 
Inktober 15, Legend
Okay, this one could get me in trouble, so please see it for the satire that it is. I’m not saying something isn’t happening, I’m commenting on the commentary. As a cold war kid, I’ve been around the doomsday block more times than I can count. Am I saying we shouldn’t take care of the planet? No! I’m saying I’ve heard “The sky is falling!” way too many times. Give me a solution that doesn’t plunge us into a socialistic nightmare, and you’ll have my attention. in the mean time, here you go.
