Inktober day 7 (prompt)
The prompt today was “enchanted,” and if there is something more enchanting than a unicorn, I don’t know what it is.

Farmers market cat
The farmers market is really near our house now, so most Saturdays I walk over with at least Grant… And one of the cats. Last time we went, Eleven came along. This week Socks decided to join us. He catted along on our walk over, sometimes ahead of us, sometimes behind. He didn’t like crossing…

Inktober day 4
I did a sketch for the prompt, but then Bob suggested that I draw a photo I took of Grant today. I’m not that good at drawing people, so it’s not technically good, but I want the practice so I can get better. My inktober submission: The original photo (also on InstaGrant!) My sketch for…

Distributed podcast with Stephen Wolfram
A post about the podcast, mostly, but also a bit of a ramble Listen to the podcast here: https://distributed.blog/2019/10/03/episode-11-stephen-wolfram/ I typically struggle with podcasts, because my brain doesn’t usually like to sit still.

Inktober day 1 (prompt)

Inktober day 1
I’m not sure I’ll actually have time or energy to complete a full drawing a day, but the inktober challenge is fascinating. I struggle to sneak in creativity, and I don’t usually use ink (I’m a graphite or paint type), so this is all uncharted territory. Illustration is a fun, vibrant, and highly technical art…

A very Grant day
Yesterday I got up with Grant around 7, and we spent the day together. The twins were there too, but they are really chill right now, and I was able to give G Unit enough attention that he was just awesome all day. First thing in the morning, we all walked to the Farmers Market.…
