For my second year of #100DaysProjectScotland, I decided to make an illustrated family tree. I’ve been dabbling in genealogy for years, but scrapped everything and started from scratch again at the beginning of 2021. I now have seven almost complete generations with pretty solid sources and wanted to use the 100 days to pull everything together into one place.
For my second Inktober, I decided to take the official prompts and turn them into causes of death. I’m a huge fan of Edward Gorey, especially The Gashlycrumb Tinies, and I thought it would be fun to kill off a bunch of curious children.
For my first Inktober, I created an A-Z of food from Arrested Development.
I wanted to do one theme over the whole month – something that would be relatively simple to draw and make me laugh, to keep me motivated to push through.
My daughter is a huge fan of Sesame Street and I wanted to get her the portrait that hangs in Bert and Ernie's apartment. I couldn't find one anywhere, so I decided to make it myself!
I’ve always doodled, but hadn’t done any proper drawing since my standard grade art class back at school. After having my daughter, reading all my favourite kids books to her made me realize how much I love illustration and I wanted to try it properly.
