So in this penultimate Inktober drawing - Inktober 30 the bottom third I drew in the Art Gallery of Western Australia's cafe, the middle bit during the Genghiscon Quiz Night, and the last bit up the top when I got home. So it's certainly a well travelled piece. I've got this fantasy dinosaur/pterosaur thing going on with it seems like.

It's that time of year again, on November 29th I'm once more turning 19.

It's that time of year again, on November 29th I'm once more turning 19.
You're welcome to join me in this fun little journey! 

NEW BIT
People driving down, I suggest you park at the carpark at the opposite end of the old bridge to the town. Turn right as you leave the bridge, toward the Ferris Wheel, there's a carpark parallel to the water there that's usually less stress to park in than the town side. I'll post a photo later, with annotations. We will be heading over that side after lunch for sandcastles and Ferris Wheel and maybe minigolf. 

This is how I will be travelling - you are welcome to join me in the train to Mandurah or get there however you like. Your presence would be the best gift - no others necessary!

Leave Perth Underground Stn Platform 2
(Stop number 99602)
10:01am
Catch Train Mandurah Line, Perth Underground Stn Platform 2
(Stop Number 99602) to Mandurah Stn Platform 2 (Stop Number 99732)
10:01am - 10:51am (50 mins)

After arriving in Mandurah we will catch the shuttlebus to the Mandurah foreshore. Suit ourselves for lunch where ever we like - I might be heading for fish and chips at town jetty but there's heaps of options along the way.

I will be walking along the estuary at leisure - there might will be a market, two actually! A Farmer's Market and the Mandjar markets. There might be dolphins who knows. This is a low stress event and people are welcome to peel off and go exploring at their own whims or if you want a bit of a lull in all the excitement.

I will probably be heading for fish and chips, and then I will be Crossing The Bridge.  If the new Disc Golf Course has been installed Disc Golf may be on the cards - and / or a ride on the Ferris Wheel and/or building of sandcastles on estuary bank.

Hope to see you and don't forget your hat and sunscreen! :-) And bucket and spade if you want to build a sandcastle. :-)

This is the first time I've seen this species of frog in my yard.


This is the first time I've seen this species of frog in my yard. It's a Litoria adelaidensis - the Slender Tree Frog. We usually get the motorbike frog or Litoria moorei. It's been attracted to my pond, and if it's a male, as I suspect, it will call to attract the ladies. I had just watered, and I noticed it and grabbed a photo. Of course, by the time I'd got my macro tube out, it had vanished into the vegetation.

Anyway, water on the leaves, and water nearby, and a creature that relies on our rapidly diminishing wetlands to reproduce is trying my pond. Put a frog friendly pond in your garden today, and please, keep your cats inside at night.

Inktober 25 Sacred Kittenfisher. Rob Masters came to the rescue when I was all out of brain today, he said "Do something based on the Sacred Kingfisher photos you took when we were on Rottnest." I did, and this feisty little Sacred Kittenfisher is the result. #inktober #inktober2015 #drawingwithoutanet

Inktober 23. Utnapishtim's Ark?


Inktober 23. Utnapishtim's Ark?

A bit of fun. I couldn't remember the name of the hero from around Lake Titicaca who made a reed boat to save his family and the animals from a Flood, but Utnapishtim might also have used a reed boat. I Read about this other Flood myths in either Thor Heyerdahl's Ra or his Tigris expedition. Must read them again, he was a fine writer, may he rest in peace. Or maybe may he adventure on might be more to that adventurer's liking.  Anyway, this is going to be coloured with watercolours and was drawn pretty quickly with those Pitt artist pens. #drawingwithoutanet which was particularly difficult with this one - oh for a pencil and eraser!, and #inktober #inktober2015
All on for tonight. Minus Garry Winterton

Swancon goers may be interested to learn that our very own Kim Larking has an RPG Tabletop adventure launched on Kickstarter. It sounds like a lot of fun! Take a look! The generous thing is that she is going to gift backers above $25 with a free digital copy even if the kickstarter doesn't fund That's a labour of love people! So consider supporting the local talent.

And it sounds like a very witty dungeon crawl.

Inktober 15.


Inktober 15. A little late but I am on Island Time. The Baudin's Lesser Hydra is not a true Hydra. True Hydras have 9 heads at the start of life and are not winged. The Baudin's Hydras are not recommended in the home as one head is invariably jealous at any given time. #inktober #inktober2015 #drawingwithoutanet

Inktober 14 This is Andrew Muhling​ 's fault. I had started a detailed piece and then suddenly I had to do a lot of travelling on the bus, and after that was all over had to pack for a four day trip. Sat down for a brief look at my g+ and I read Andrew's joke. Minutes later... #inktober #inktober2015 #drawingwithoutanet Herbin ink and a Tombo fountain pen.

What kind of bovine can you really depend on?

Impressive!


Impressive! I highly recommend Artematiko  's engaging Inktober series. The Kneadable Eraser's adventures are a lot of fun, and very clever techniques by the artist!
