Finally back in Tucson, but spent the flight home finishing up this sketchbook page that was started while sitting in panels and readings at World Fantasy Convention. Good memories in the all pen-strokes from an amazing weekend. #amdrawing #sketchbook #ballpointpendrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dfdozj39S/?igshid=18bwcu0tqpk63

And more slow filling of sketchbook pages at World Fantasy Con. (Yep, that’s me at the back of the room with a sketchbook and a ballpoint pen) #amdrawing #sketchbook #ballpointpendrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/B4aiXkSDJLp/?igshid=ilrlold8gpic

for the @monthoffearart prompt MONSTERS UNSEEN. 

Sometimes it’s the hard things closest to us we can’t see, don’t want to see, refuse to see.
