ho-ho! It's that time again! October is my favorite time of year and It's always a delight to do drawing challenges like Inktober, so I'll be once again creating my own prompts to challenge myself. Keen observers may notice that some of these prompts are repeats from last year's. IDK I like them!

My family and I went to see my art teachers sculpture today: Pointing the Way to The Future. It replaced a Columbus monument. It was made both as a tribute to Italian Americans, but also immigrant families in general. Kind of important to remember this day and age especially.
