#31 days. 31 sketches.

Hello! 🙌🏾 #Inktober2018 was AMAZING! I had a blast taking on the happy medium, having a lot of fun while all a very commanding daily practice, I always find it refreshingly fulfilling during this event to get back to exercising off the cobwebs.

How did you like this year's list? 🤗🤓

This is my second offering to this annual global event, online artists from around the world share their works done exclusively in the humble medium of ink. Whatever the medium, many artists post finished works done in indelible ink done on archival paper, of which a finished piece is ready to be sold to an eager public.

It is only with the continued support of my patron subscribers, that you, the loyal fanbase can enable these sketches parlay into finished works of art. A vote on all your favorites from my #Inktober2018 sketchbook select which best THREE (3) pieces make it to become Final Art! The highest rated pieces go on to become full-color illustrations then even more unique products for your spiritual consumption.

Higher resolution images, behind-the-scenes development content, and my exclusive E-Zine recap highlights from my latest projects, the following later become available for direct download for Patreon access-only contributing supporters:

- hi-res JPEGs
- PDF E-Zine
- #bts content
- PSD coloring pages

Show your support the artwork even more whenever you hit the LIKE button, SHARE your favorite posts with your social network, or SUBSCRIBE with your monthly pledges!

THIS POLL EVENT ENDS DEC. 1ST!

The following content is a collection of my sketches that I created of each day's prompt, followed by a short poetic I wrote at the time of publishing to the web. You may print or share these images with your networks, however it is watermarked to protect the integrity of the design and the public licensed use of this art.

Thank you for your support!
