Weekend Wrap-up / Inktober Day 30 (Slither): Somewhat Spooky Saturday
October 30: Slither(yn) All previous drawings: https://linesbyleon.com/inktober/ Weekend Wrap-up It's Saturday. "Tell us something we don't know..." When I realized that Halloween landed on a Sunday—how often does that happen? "More often than when it lands on Friday the 13th. Now, that would be spooky." Well anyway, I decided to take advantage of the alliterative … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up / Inktober Day 30 (Slither): Somewhat Spooky Saturday
Weekend Wrap-up / Inktober Day 23 (Leak): What can you draw?
October 23: Leak (What's not confidential is the name of the manicurist...Don't go there.) All previous drawings: https://linesbyleon.com/inktober/ I've been told I'm good at drawing hands.

Weekend Wrap-up: Who’s been taking my peanuts?
I feed the birds all year. Not a lot in the warm months, just enough so they won’t forget me. Mostly chickadees and sparrows come to partake in the seeds and grubs, but the other day I heard the melodious squawk and gurgle of a blue jay. Perched on my rail was the blue beast. … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up: Who’s been taking my peanuts?

October. You know what that means. You missed all the Halloween stuff at the store and all the Christmas accoutrements have been placed on the shelves. Wait. What?! I know.

Weird Wednesday: Cartoons and a Guessing Game
I post "The Miniscules" on Instagram @lines_by_leon every Monday, but I'll put them here on Wednesday as well. Monday's "Miniscule Monday" continuing the fairy tale theme. I came across my Inktober sketches, but I have no idea what word each was supposed to represent. Do you? Feel free to guess. I really don't know. I … Continue reading Weird Wednesday: Cartoons and a Guessing Game
