Our dear sweet old dog, Zoë, who worried constantly about everything, always.

Drew her fur a bit too dark; I really should have switched over to a smaller micron pen, but at least it’s done, and on time.

My good old Riedell 495s. Currently set up with hockey laces, leather toe guards, Pilot Falcons and Sure Grip Zombies, 98a low. Yes, I’m a gear nerd.

This sketch is pretty disproportionate, but it was late, and after 2 1/2 hours of skating, so I was pretty tired and just needed to get it done. I like the dry brush on it, so that much is good.

And, for the moment: I’m caught up on Inktobers! Hooray! (this won’t last. enjoy the moment.)

Left over from Sunday’s breakfast.

Kayaking with R and K at the Apostle Islands, Bayfield, Wisconsin (That’s K in the tunnel).

All. The. Time.

One of my mushrooms from today’s hike.

The saddest thing I know of.

Today’s prompt: Hungry.

As I was sitting down to draw tonight and wondering what I was going to do for today’s entry, Paul called up from the kitchen that there was a bowl of popcorn for me. Problem solved! (Also, Paul makes the best popcorn. My popcorn is terrible by comparison.)

This was a fun little inkwash experiment, with one drop of Rapidograph ink and a lovely Raphael 8404 I’ve had for several years and don’t use enough.

Today’s prompt: Collect.

Here’s a small portion of my collection of desk fidgets. I have a whole bowlful, but these are the ones I fidget with most often, not counting my lip balm and kneaded erasers. I have nervous hands and have found that I both learn and listen better if I give them something to worry on while my brain does its thing.
