November has been a month busy with colouring some of the Inktober 2019 images in preparation for printing my 2020 Calendar. There is still a few more hours of work to do on it, but I hope to get it to the printers early next week.

So here are 2 other Intober images, the black & white version followed by the colour version.

The theme for Day 5 was Build

And how can you build without ACME?

The theme for Day 6 was Husky

That is a plaintive, husky cry for help!
But did you expect such a building project to end any other way?

Now, back to work, to get the 2020 Calendar finished.
If you want your own, get in contact before I go to the printers because we only do a single print run.

Inktober for 2019 is almost over, apart from the drawing I am working on now, there are only 2 more black & white Socket Head drawings to go.

It has been a worthwhile personal discipline, but whether it has had any additional value remains to be seen. I doubt I will attempt it again.

Here are a selection of 5 drawings from the series:

From Day 15, theme 'Legend'

From Day 16, theme Wild

From Day 17, theme Ornament

From Day 22, theme Ghost

From Day 24, theme Dizzy

The rest of them you can see on my Instagram (@cavanaghcreative), Twitter (@VJCavanagh) and Facebook accounts.

As promised, here are the images of religious inspiration from the past few months:
The first one came together in Holy Week, just after the Lenten 40 Days for Life novena ended.

For this next one, my mother needed an image for an Instagram post, and described what was in her mind that would convey something of the relationship between sheep and the Good Shepherd.

Did you know that Twitter is full of very witty people? Well there's a bishop on there who inspired this image. It seems that he can misplace mitres and croziers and other items, but he can always post a fresh meme.

Said inspiration was heading off to Rome for an Ad Limina visit, and there was some very real concern that he might misplace something else. The feast of St Anthony of Padua, the patron Saint of finding lost objects, occurred around the same time. One thought led to another, and the thought of Frequent Loser points had the family in full blown mirth......

Then doing an image for the solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus somehow seemed appropriate, and a good test for my widened collection of Copic markers.

There have been some new characters showing up in my sketchbook; a few of them may have graduated to finished artwork by next time. We'll see.
