INKTOBER 2018 IS FINALLY COMPLETED

Whew! Inktober (at least for me) is finally over. October is always a challenge for me because of Inktober. I work so hard on this challenge, but I always feel like I never get any where professionally and all of this work just sits on the internet or in my sketchbook. However, this year is about change for me. I’ve decided to create some prints from my work and an Inktober art zine to sell at my booth. I’m particularly excited about the Art Zine idea because in that format I can share all the cool stuff that I learned about African witchcraft along the way. This is something that I’ve never done before (mostly because I hated showing people my work) but when I sell my art, my artist booth is looking a little sparse with only two coloring books. Feel free to check out my gallery below to see all the pictures in case you missed one on my FB/IG/Twitter pages. Stay tuned for updates!!

Inktober is HERE!!

Aw yeah!! Inktober is here and I am here for it! Now for those of you who don’t know, Inktober is an online art challenge where you post one ink drawing every day for the month of October. It’s a contest to motivate and inspire artists to keep drawing everyday. Not to mention that it’s a challenge to see how much you can improve in 31 days! There is a prompt for this that you can reference here (but I never do the prompts). This year, I am doing African American witchcraft inspired drawings. Hoodoo ( not to be confused with Voodoo) is distinctly African American in origin and is a huge part of our history in the south. Now…I come from a family with 3 baptist pastors so I understand why my mother never told me about this part of our history. However I personally find it fascinating and will be giving you some tid bits that I learn along the way with every drawing that I do!

I will NOT be posting my inktober portfolio on the blog until it is completely finished. Checkout my FB/IG/TUMBLR pages to see the pictures as they are completed throughout the month.

Happy Inking!!
