Annnnnd... Prompt 31 of #inktober2022 was #farm so... Peter Hooton here is the lead singer of Liverpool band The Farm (named after the Cantril Farm Estate where my nan and granddad lived when I was a kid)... #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
Prompt 30 for #inktober2022 was #gear - I got two meanings in... "Laughing Gear" is a slang term for the mouth. But gear also refers the tools of your trade. A vampire only needs its teeth. Gear in Laughing Gear 😁 #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing #vampires
And then prompt 28 of #inktober2022 was #camping so... I have resorted to caricature in my attempts to catch up. Here's Kenneth Williams in "Carry On Camping" and, let's face it, nobody could do camping it up quite like Ken...! #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing #carryon
Day 26 of #inktober2022 and #ego is the prompt... Freud never actually used the Latin terms we recognise his work by. James Strachey, who translated him into English, obviously just didn't like the English versions. #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing #freud
And then, to catch up a quick #tempting for #inktober2022 day 25... Sir Terry and Neil Gaiman this time. Good Omens. Crowley, who was of course, the serpent in the Garden of Eden... #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
Day 24 of #inktober2022 and #fairy was the prompt... I have retired to the works of the late and utterly great Sir Terry Pratchett... The Nac Mac Feegle are "technically" fairies - but don't point it out unless you want a good kickin'... #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
So, day 23 of #inktober2022 (yes, yes, I have day 24 as well...) and the prompt was #bogey so... In British folklore, hobgoblins are sometimes called bogeys. This chap can be found on Hobgoblin Ale by Wychwood Brewery of Witney... #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
Another quick one, because it's 4.00am... #heist was the #inktober2022 day 22 prompt... BUT DID YOU KNOW that "heist" is actually a 19th century American dialectical variant of "hoist"? Well, it is... #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing #etymology
I drew this for #inktober a few years ago now, but I trot it out every year as my personal memorial to those who sleep forever, and for those who could not sleep for years, in Aberfan. #Aberfan #cofiwchaberfan
#bluff was the prompt for #inktober2022 day 20... Our little-lamented Prime Monster resigned at JUST the right point. She prevented me having to use the corny card trick drawing I was originally going with... #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing #politicaltwittery
As my last effort was fairly awful I decided to press on and get #inktober2022 day 19 out of the way...! The prompt was #ponytail and there's only so much you can DO with that, so here's a pony... With a very long tail... #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing #ponies #pony
I rather lacked inspiration for #inktober2022 Day 18. The prompt of #scrape didn't inspire much, so this happened...! It was done quite quickly, but I did use different pens for a change - fountain pens and dip pens. #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
Day 17 of #inktober2022 and #salty was the prompt... Sea is salty! There's no real suggestion that Manawyddan was a sea god in Welsh mythology, but he's cognate with the Irish Manannan Mac Lyr who WAS (the Isle of Man is named after him). #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
The prompt of #fowl heralds #inktober2022 day 16... This is Keith - the only Muscovy duck living in the local park. He beats up other ducks and even has a go at the Canada Geese,but avoids the swans because he isn't a complete idiot. #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
The prompt for Day 15 of #inktober2022 was #armadillo - so what's with the rabbit in a turtle shell, Evans? Well, Armadillo comes from Spanish and is a diminutive of "armoured" apparently... But the Aztecs called these little chaps "āyōtōchtli" which means "turtle rabbit" so...
#inktober2022 prompt was #empty for Day 14... When young I thought ancient statues had their eyes closed... But in the classical period, they were painted. Time has robbed them of their painted raiment, so they've also lost their eyes. #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
Back to keeping pace again now. Today's prompt for #inktober2022 was #forget so I thought I'd do something dangerous... Well, Frankenstein's Monster did on my behalf... #drawing #drawings #amdrawing #doomed
The prompt for Day 10 of #inktober2022 was #crabby and, let's face it, you can't get more crabby than a grumpy hermit crab living in a crab apple... #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
Getting myself back on track for #inktober2022 now... So, day 9's prompt was #nest and... Only Brits over a certain age are likely to remember the Sitcom, Robin's Nest. This is not a very good drawing, but it was done rather quickly... #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
I am slightly behind now... Day 8's prompt for #inktober2022 was #match and, well... I like to twist them, as you know... #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
And we're a week in... Today's #inktober2022 prompt was #trip... This poor machine went for entirely the wrong sort of trip here...! #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
Day 6 of #inktober2022 already? A simple one tonight. The prompt was #bouquet and so... Who better to be Keeping Up Appearances than Hyacinth, the Bucket Woman, enjoying the bouquet of one of her roses...? #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing
The prompt for Day 3 of #inktober2022 was #bat Flittermouse is a mostly archaic English word for bats. The word "bat" (whether applied to Flittermice OR offensive weapons/sport sticks) comes from a root word meaning "to strike"... #inktober #drawing #drawings #morestupidfacts
Thought I might as well do Day 2 of #inktober2022 as well, seeing as it's Sunday now... The prompt was #scurry - which happens to be the name for a group of squirrels! #inktober #drawing #drawings #amdrawing #squirrels
#crispy is the fate of any self-respecting vampire in sunlight. And me too, for that matter, but I prefer a nice whisky or a cup of tea to the more sanguine options... And Crispy was the #inktober prompt for today too... #inktober2021
