Had a fun day with @melissanyulasi on a field trip with @marylandnature playing with actual real 150,000,000 year old fossils!! We both found, reported, and turned in super ancient fossilized pine cones! The terrain from the top of the dog looks like satellite images of some vast scrubland! #NHSM #DinosaurPark #dinosaurs #fossils #NaturalHistorySocietyofMaryland (at Laurel, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmSauuTr_Xx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A few episodes of @oldgodsofappalachia later, in the thick of one of my favorite story arcs, “In the Pines,” a Demon Bride sketch is inked! #oldgodsofappalachia #theholiestdaysofboneandshadow #demonbride #inkdrawing #inksketch (at Ellicott City, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl9edmwOND6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What do YOU all draw or craft while listening to a podcast? Does the content inform your creation? @oldgodsofappalachia podcast pours through me like blood through cheesecloth then onto my sketchbook. #sketch #oldgods #oldgodsofappalachia #demonbride #HoliestDaysOfBoneAndShadow #panopticonband #panopticon #appalachia #appalachianmetal (at Ellicott City, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl9U1LIO8-g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Working on another doubled up set of #Inktober2022 prompts, “booger” & “fairy”. And I recently watched my favorite horror film… #inktober #moleskin #sketch #pencilsketch #ancientwinds (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkrKG8yrsmT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Combining @inktober’s Day 3 & Day 6 prompts to create this bountiful #Bouquet of #Bats! Finished it up on Halloween. I’m going to keep working on the #Inktober2022 prompt list until they’re all done. I’ve never completed one wholly, and maybe next year I’ll aim to get em all done before Halloween 🎃😉 #Inktober #penandink #penandinkdrawing #inkdrawing #northernlongearedbat #bigbrownbat #easternsmallfootedbat #hoarybat #flyingfox #vampirebat (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckd7jMhLtbH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My first #Inktober2022 drawing done with a dip pen! I’d forgotten how much fun that can be, despite it taking muuuuch longer.

My morning spot, where, every morning, I journal my Morning Pages and get all the fresh-from-sleep, cobwebby thoughts out of my head and onto paper so my noggin is less cluttered for the day’s work. The Sun Room here at @focusretreat.center is easily my favorite space, especially when it’s raining outside and I can sit at a different desk, listen to spooky stories and draw while it storms 🖤⛈⛈🌫 #focusretreatcenter #inktober #inktober2022 #cozySpace (at Focus Retreat Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj-bWv4rD67/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another start at the board up here at the @focusretreat.center in NY! (at Focus Retreat Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj8KbTPrmVN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I’m not allowed to play out in the rain I get #salty too. @inktober @focusretreat.center #inktober #inktober2022 #saltyseadog #longshoreman #the deep (at Focus Retreat Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj6fQxpr3QZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another @Inktober #mashup, Day 4’s #Scallop (I’m looking at you and your #DumpsterScallops @bigmouthnetflix ), and Day 10’s #Crabby. This one was especially fun to do. @focusretreat.center #Inktober #Inktober2022 #BigMouth #BigMouthNetflix #Inksdrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj323unr1u4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Inktober Day 16 #FOWL fit in with Day 11’s #EAGLE. So I got that going for me. #inktober2022 #Inkdrawing #focusretreatcenter @focusretreat.center (at Focus Retreat Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj32G2QLDHF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
