INKTOBER
Inktober is a creative challenge for artists and illustrators. During the 31 days of October you are supposed to publish a new illustration everyday, if possible including ink in your technique. It depends on each artist how close one wants to stick to the prompts that are released in advance. Below you’ll find my participations of the past years, with 2020 and 2021 being even completed.

THE FORGOTTEN ARCANA OF WAPPENSCHMIED (INKTOBER 2019)
Following the list of the official prompts I created my own deck of Tarot cards. A bit of occultism, a pinch of humor and nod to the Rider Waite Tarot arcana form this new take on a classic.
INKSECTOBER (2018)

ORCTOBER •Frogtober • FolkTober •Octoper (2017)
In that year I always created my drawings fitting to a thematic quartet, based on some wordplay on October. Unfortunately I only made it to the half
