INKTOBER is an annual drawing challenge that takes place in October of each year. The challenge is to make a drawing in ink every day in October following a pre-determined list of words. The rules allow a pencil sketch, and in past years, it has found a following in the digital realm as well. These are my drawings for the 2020 challenge. https://inktober.com/rules

A candle that has been blown out with a wisp of smoke.

Most giant problems turn out not to be such a big deal after all.

The mouse has his revenge…

Two rocks on a frozen plain. At least they have each other.

Look up now and again.

This one disturbed me after I drew it.
