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 #16 – Compass
I had a lot of thoughts pop in my head when I saw the word compass. The first thing I thought of was the compass on my dad’s boat. We took the boat out on Lake Erie often. It was one of my favorite things to do with my family. We would go fishing and […]

Inktober 2021 #8 – Watch
If you have seen my previous sketches for Inktober this year, you’ll know that my dad was a cowboy. His favorite movies were westerns and he watched them often. It was one of my favorite things to do with my dad when I was little. No one else I knew watched westerns so I thought […]

Inktober 2021 #5 – Raven
My dad loved birds. He studied them often and knew every bird that crossed his path. If he saw one he didn’t know, he would look it up in the bird book until he figured it out. He was always surrounded by birds. We had quail, pigeons, chickens. We even had a peacock for a […]

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 […]
