Inktober 2025 Is Under Way...and I Completely Forgot to Write about What I Did for Inktober 2024

The reason for that was, of course, that in October of 2024, I was writing about things I had done for Inktober 2023, 2022, and Inktober 2021. Hey, folks...art never gets old, although occasionally it does age poorly. 

First things first: again I am providing this year's prompt list a bit late (but in the first week, this time), but those of you who are cool enough to follow my Facebook page will again note that I did provide it last month. (This is basically a plug for my Facebook page. Thank you.) 

Inktober 2024, Day One: This is actually an inside joke, so I need to set it up. Back in 2023 around Halloween, my friend Tre invited me to draw, in my style, his picture of Cthulhu trick-or-treating as a human kid (whom he'd slain for the, uh, "costume"). Tre's cartoony style made it cute. My style is...a little creepier. Anyway, here is the original side-by-side:

and after I added color to mine:

Now, the prompt for Day One of Inktober 2024 was "backpack", and so I created this drawing I call "Ricky's Revenge": 

Inktober 2024 Day Two, "discover"- Because I won't be denied a good 'dad joke', this one is called "Waiter, There's a Fly in My Soup": 

Inktober 2024 Day Three, "boots" - this gave me the opportunity to indulge my inner Richard Scarry/and or Shrek animator. One of my favorite Inktober drawings! 

Don't worry, I did more, but this post is getting longer than my attention span, so I will let you go and hopefully cover the remainder before too many more Inktobers have passed. For prior years, please check out:
