Inktober Day 10: Nomadic
My Inktober twist is using my childhood original character, The Tarantula #ConChrisoulisTARANTULA as the main element around which I will adapt all the Inktober prompts.
✒️
On top of that, I will try to narrate an impromptu short Tarantula story using each day's prompt.
✒️
Due to time constraints, I am going straight in with inks, without any pencils or plot prep.

@Inktober is an annual art challenge that encourages artists to create an ink drawing every day in October and share it online.

Adam McGovern (@getmcgovern) has written a wonderful column for his exceptional pop culture blog @HiLobrow around the conversations we have had over the past few months on all topics surrounding my practice, from @REBELREBELcomics: The graphic biography of David Bowie to #TalesofTHESMITHS and KING: The graphic biography of Jack Kirby.
🎙️
I have been reading Adam's sublime 'Kirby as a Genre' column in the Jack Kirby Collector for years, so this is a great honour.
🎙️
It's a long read, but it crosses a series of topics that inform my work and it may possibly be the definitive insight on my current creative process.
