offcntrNeeding some distraction from, oh, everything, I decided it would be fun to do another drawing challenge for October. I even had the perfect little book I'd made, with pages from a rescued drawing paper pad.
If only I could find it.
Turned the desk upside down, looked through all the boxes of book projects, and finally faced the fact, Wednesday night, that if I was gonna do drawings this month, I'd have to use a different book. The only blank book I could find had thin pages and an uninspiring cover.
So I made a new one.
It's got heavy drawing paper pages, a gelli-printed cover in fall colors, with leaf prints. Perfect for an October drawing challenge.
Except it isn't Inktober anymore. The originator of the word went and trademarked it, and then his lawyers--possibly without his permission--started issuing cease-and-desist orders to people trying to sell cards and art that had "Inktober" in the branding.
Sigh.
So this year, I'm calling it Oc2ber--my second year, right? And I think I'm gonna retag last year's drawings Inklings, along with the new ones, so they're all easy to find.
Here's a look at the book. Drawings soon.
