You know how Kermit the Frog used to say, 'It's not easy being green.' Well at the moment, it's not easy being creative either. It has been neatly summed up by @evancabnet on Twitter thus: "WRITERS. I have a secret to share with you. Every single day, I speak with a different playwright (or screenwriter, or novelist) who confesses they haven’t been able to concentrate and they aren’t getting anything done." As at today it has had 31.7K likes and 4,9K Retweets since Apr 17. Comments attached to that Tweet proved that artists, illustrators and graphic designers were all feeling it too. Many of those comments put my own feelings in to words. What I have been slowly working on is colouring some of the black & white images from Socket Head's Inktober 2019 adventures. Overgrown Day 14  Treasures Day 21  Dark Day 26  Coat Day 27  Maybe, just maybe, if I get them all coloured I might make a small non-standard story book out of them. But there are 16 more to do......

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.
