Inktober 23: “Booger”. 18 years ago, when my wife and I first started dating, her family had a dog named Booger. Good dog.

Inktober 22: heist. Raccoons are nature’s burglars around here. Some Noodler’s Lexington Gray ink in a sketchbook for this quick drawing.

Inktober 16: salty. As an interesting bit of trivia, I learned that the Morton salt girl with the umbrella was used as a marketing image because they introduced an anti caking agent to their salt that allowed it to flow freely even in high humidity, such as when it rains. Apparently before this innovation, salt would usually clump together when it got humid, so you would have to chisel off little chunks to use it. #inktober #inktober2022 #salt #fountainpen #penandink #inkdrawing #noodlersink https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj0UJwdAcgu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
