Not sure why but been into painting “spaghetti-ish” people lately.

BECKY PINKERTON’S BICYCYLE: Becky SAW to it that she’d be able to compete in the “bicycles only” race on Saturday.

From the creators of “Mammoths Don’t Drink Mimosas,” comes DODOS DON’T EAT DONUTS…anymore.

LILLYLOU AND LARRY: Lilly and Louise are always together. They act alike, dress alike, talk alike, and friends have started to call them “LillyLou,” as if they are one person joined at the hip. Larry, however, has had quite enough of being the third wheel…

ELEANORA’S SNEEZE: It’s alive! Science-loving kid Eleanora was just -curious- when she sneezed into a jar and began…experiments. She was snot prepared for it to become the next contestant on “So You Think You Can Boogie.”

THE CAT AND LORD SNODBURY
Fresh from a stint as a lute player in the baroque period, a time traveling robot teams up with the best trumpet player around to sink their claws into the local jazz scene.

A SPOONFUL OF STARS: After Chef Wolfgang Cluck gives a particularly bad review of her restaurant, Stella throws herself completely into making the most stellar batch of chicken and stars soup to change his mind.

DAISY SWEETAPPLE LIVES NEXT DOOR: Daisy Sweetapple seems to annoy neighbor Granny Smith to her very core, but when she discovers an old picture of Ms. Smith from her roller derby days, she comes up with the recipe to change their relationship from sour to sweet.

Completed a week of imaginary book covers. An incredibly fun challenge by creator Monty Lee: Instagram.com/mosokje. Here are my 7 illustrations based on the 7 imagined title prompts. Will put my blurbs in the comments.

Love the teacup!

Gobble gobble.

Surely someone in the ISS wants to join in.

Watercolor and ink drawing of a spotted gar, weaving between various Oklahoma wildflowers

Hey look it’s a GARden. Inspired by it being Gar week this week, which is apparently a thing that I now know about because of OK Dept. of Wildlife Conservation.

Watercolor and ink drawing of tightrope walkers layered on top of one another and seen from below the wire. The woman leans to her left and holds a red umbrella. The man leans to his right. Their lower bodies are very similarly positioned so as to seem almost like one body.

Balancing act scribbles.

Love the no-stakes creative play that happens with live portrait drawing with Instagram.com/drawingisfree_org and instagram.com/pencils4tea. One song, one pose - a chance to just explore creatively without judgement in connection with people all around the world. Truly magical and life-breathing.

Ink drawing of a person with a freaky smile and dressed like Stuart smaller of SNL stands in front of an empty lot between two houses. A “for sale” sign is in the ground, while the person holds a sign reading “vaCAN”

Ink drawing of a woman inspired by nurse Ratched from the “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” movie. She is gesturing for you to enter an open door leading to a ward occupied by 5 men inspired by the characters of the movie.

Sketchy Ornate Hawk-Eagle

Technically this is a sketch from January’s birbtober challenge, so I’m a cheater today.

Oh no, the #inktober prompt was #blunder?! Well… I definitely made a big mistake.
