Inktober 2021 – A Tribute to my Dad

My 2021 Inktober is dedicated to my dad. You can go back and read each post explaining the memory that is connected to every image. Today is my dad’s birthday. He would have been 64 today. I figured today would be a good day to share a post of all my sketches together. A lifetime…

Inktober 2021 #29 & #30

I never did get around to sharing my last two Inktober sketches last year. I dedicated my last inktober to my dad. He passed away in October of 2020 and this project was my way of bringing back some good memories to October. The prompt for entry #29 for Inktober was “Patch” I decided to…

Inktober 2021 #18 – Moon

The fourth prompt for Inktober is knot, which really isn’t a lot to work with when thinking of my favorite memories with my dad. I decided to do a drawing of the survival bracelets that we made one of the times my son and I were visiting my parents over the summer. It seemed like…

Inktober 2021 #3 – Vessel

Vessel was an easy prompt that brought up a lot of memories with my dad. He had his own vessel called The Phish Phinder. We would go out on Lake Erie all the time and go fishing. We would have the usual family competition of who could catch the most fish. It was usually my…
