I was out of town for a couple days, so I'm playing a little catchup with my October #Artchallenge #LittleArtists Here's the 12th #artist mulling paint (and possibly mulling over her choice to use such large mullers)

If you're into dip pen inking, check this out!

I compared Kakimori's Brass dip pen nib against Colorverse's aluminum Shuttle Nib to see how they handle when it comes to #inking

What's one thing you can't live without in your gumbo? And do you prefer #Creole or Cajun, or a hybrid like many of us are? Me? I like #Okra in my gumbo.

It's #nationalgumboday ? While 79 out is still too hot for me to stand over a roux, I would definitely eat a bowl my husband fixed. I gotta share my #Cajun #gumbo #illustration - going out and collecting all the ingredients one by one!

Its the eleventh day of October and that means I have a new #Inkedart for my #Artchallenge . Since I'm celebrating art and artforms I figured cartography and mapmaking should get a shot! Kara and her father creating a map of their local area. #originalartwork

Here’s the rest of the series, so far. I have plans for Shuttle (which will be interesting bc there’s no Greek mythology to tie back to for that) and Artemis. www.monkeyminionpress.com/products/gem...

Day 10 of my #LittleArtist #artchallenge swings back around to #watercolor in terms of brushes and ceramic palettes. Better keep your watch on you- it's easy to lose track of time when #painting #originalart

Day 9 of my #LittleArtists #artchallenge is #colorpencils !

What's your favorite brand? What qualities do you prefer? I really liked Derwents Coloursoft for their smooth, creamy leads, but Faber-Castell's Polychromos is good too!

It's the eighth day of my #LittleArtist #artchallenge and I wanted to celebrate the popular #Posca I mean...FOSCA markers. Not quite acrylic, but maybe tempera, who doesn't love a good opaque water-based marker in fun colors? #originalart #inkedart

#littleartists Day 7, #mechanicalpencils . A #comicartist has gotta rep #comics in the #arts right? Mechanical pencils make the planning part of my comic process so much easier. And chunky grips spare my hands wear and tear. #artchallenge #originalartwork

Since there didn't seem to be anyone officially videoing the townhall (no news teams!) I ended up recording all of it.

It is all old people and cops. And possibly politicians and hopefuls.

There is a Louisiana townhall meeting in Luling Louisiana with both local reps and Gv Landry. My husband and I are both in attendance- I have no idea if they plan on filming, I do not plan to record, but I do hope to livepost.

My pet roof rat, Basil, crossed the rainbow bridge on Sunday, so I haven't been quite myself, and probably won't be for awhile. Still, working on these #LittleArtists has given me something to take my mind off missing my lil baby.

#LittleArtists Day 6 - #Inker

Some traditional #comic inking supplies including a bandolier of G nibs. Those speedlines were relaxing.

Today were saying goodbye to Basil. He was found Feb 22nd 2022. He will pass today, October 5th, 2025. He is very loved, and loved us in return.
