Inktober 2017

Inktober is an annual online event where artists create ink drawings each day through the month of October. Some of the images celebrate Halloween. Some artists follow a calendar of provided prompt words. Others create their own list of prompt words. And others will follow their own themes. I did my best to follow the prompt word list provided by Inktober. And most of the time I added the spin of an obscure horror movie. Some of the words are obvious in the image. Others less so. I had a lot of fun with this year's Inktober Challenge.

The Comic Critic Reviews "Frankenstein"

I must have been introduced to Frankenstein at a very early age. I cannot remember a time when this movie wasn’t in my mental wheelhouse. And what a film to have on one of your earliest movie experience paving stones. Frankenstein is the story of a human creating a sentient being. It’s a look at how heedless scientific advancement without forethought can bring horror into the world for both the creator and the created. It’s a mirror of the human condition where people can be seen as gentle, but are usually ugly creatures, afraid and superstitious, blindly lashing out at what is not understood. Mankind is as gruesome as the creature, and not nearly so innocent. I wanted to convey that thought in this strip while also portraying a few of the elements so attractive to me as a child. And which remain attractive to me to this day. What truly horrifies me is when I hear that there are people walking the planet who have not seen Frankenstein. This movie is a must-see for anybody. It is in my top ten movies of all time.
