shad ow play 10313016.jpg

Inktober continues with a demonstration of how Halloween can make us playfully crazy. “Shadowplay” does not mean having fun with shadows, but why shouldn’t it? Today it does.

There are fewer than five hours left in my Inktober. I have four more images to do. If I stop having fun, and the work turns stale, I’ll stop and declare victory, finished images or no. This Inktober has already exceeded my expectations, and brought my drawing hand fully back to life. It would be nice to do it all, though . . .

Lenny Bruce once had a bit where a thief was asking his fence, “Ya wanna buy a hot?” The fence says, “A hot what?” and the thief replies, “A hot ANYTHING–I had a helluva week!” Similarly, I had a helluva night last night. I could not stop drawing. Here are some, but not all, of the results:

Dip ye into H2O–uh oh–it is très chaud
Urge a flooded 2-step & becalm the sea’s rain’s beau
Solve a Driftwood Puzzlement & give your Mojo brass
Killer Time will 1-2 PUNCH you–your job is to last

Deliverance of Country with a capp’d & righteous C
Admixturance prog/Southern Rock to make it neo-Neat-o
Veer not from fearless choices as you twist the reverb knob
Endurance with Enjoyment: a Producer’s V i t a l job

I’d never heard nor read of this gentleman before this morning’s WSJ. He’s a record producer who, judging from the article on him, is doing fine work.

Lastly, a (perhaps) work in progress with plenty of blanks to fill. Anyone who provides the between-acrostics text with reasonable meter and rhyme will get their text calligraphed and placed in the acrostic with full credit and praise from me.
