Around town: Olean in fall

Recently, one of my friends mentioned that Olean sounded so idyllic (until she remembered the snow), and it really put me in a contented frame of mind when it comes to my town. It is almost pathologically charming, and since I live in the city itself, I get to enjoy it all pretty much constantly.…

Inktober day 9 (prompt)

The prompt was “swing” – I tried several sketches of this and never got the proportions right. It is what it is, today. I guess I don’t know what feet look like, either, which is new information for me.

Inktober day 3 (prompt)

I’m tired so you’re only getting the sketch I drafted while working today. The prompt was “bait,” and Bob said (of the sketch) “but there’s no cat.” It’s true! I also tried out a few hooks. My grandfather used to make his own fly fishing hooks, which my dad made a lovely shadowbox for, and…
