Inktober Day 22 – Ghost

Inktober Day 21 – Treasure
A daring late-night break in, millions of dollars of art stolen, one of the biggest art heists in all of Ireland. Who could be responsible for such a daring and […]
Inktober Day 20 – Tread

Inktober Day 18 – Misfit
Well, I can think of no greater misfit then the famed Pirate Queen of Ireland, Gráinne Mhaol or Grace O’Malley. The O’Malley’s ruled a large part of the west coast for over […]
Inktober Day 17 – Ornament
Perhaps a fancy ornamental building possibly, or maybe a nice Celtic carving, something that screams ornamentation. Yeah, that would be nice. But what popped in my head was a Christmas […]
Inktober Day 16 – Wild
Nothing wilder in Ireland then the Wild Atlantic Way. The coastal route going up the west coast for 1553 miles featuring some of Ireland finest natural features, including the Cliffs […]
Inktober – Half Way There
At this point it’s starting to get pretty hard to hide the fact that this is a combination piece, so I figured why not let it all out there. Instead […]
Inktober Day 15 – Legend
As far as Ireland goes, nothing could be more legendary then Finn McCool, or Fionn Mac Cumhaill. An Irish giant that decided to expand his territory by going across the […]
Inktober Day 14 – Overgrown
As I have mentioned before, there are lots of houses in Ireland that are just abandoned. It really does not take long for nature to reclaim anything human has created. […]
Inktober Day 13 – Ash
You can’t have ash without fire, and Duckett’s Grove had two major fires in one week back in the 1930’s. There are rumors aplenty on how the fires were set, […]
Inktober Day 12 – Dragon
You would think there would be a million dragon things in Irish mythology to tie into this theme, but there are not. I searched high and wide, but very few […]
Inktober Day 11 – Snow
Snow in Ireland, haha, that is a funny one. They really don’t get too much snow out here unless it’s high up in the mountains. When I first started dating […]
Inktober DAY 10 – Pattern
When it came to patterns, the first thing that popped into my head was old Celtic carvings. They have been part or Irish culture for as far back as can […]
Inktober Day 9 – Swing
Hey, I don’t know of anybody who has a kid that does not instantly think about playgrounds when it comes to the word swing. If I was single, I am […]
Inktober Day 8 – Frail
For Frail I chose a Ballyknocken church in Leighlinbridge that has a pretty funny story to it. Back in the 60s or 70s, it was decided to tear the whole […]
Inktober Day 7 – Enchanted
This was an easy one for me, as soon as I heard enchanted this house popped in my brain. It’s called the Doll House, but Skylar called it the Fairy […]
Inktober Day 6 – Husky
Well, I know most people probably are thinking of a cute dog for Husky, but I went a different route. I wanted to find one of the most sturdy, solid, […]
Inktober Day 5 – Build
This drawing is of one of my favorite buildings in Kilkenny, right at the historic John Street bridge, in the shadow of Kilkenny Castle. The reason I thought of this […]
Inktober Day 4 – Freeze
Well this was a tough one again. Mainly because I had an image in my head of one of the very common images around here, of an old stone house […]
