Inktober 2018

INKTOBER 2018

A whole month of creativity and learning, I´ve decided to create my own parade, inspired by one of my all time favourite albums The Black Parade (artwork by the incredible James Jean) and Jake Parker, whom we pay homage every year with this challenge.

28x56 cm mixed media on Winsor&Newton paper.

The whole concept of this piece is to welcome you to the stuff that happens in my mind, full of characters that often visit me in my dreams and nightmares, wanting to come out.

Each one has its own story.

Inked all the linework beforehand and each day of inktober painted the corresponding character from the official list.
