#inktober 2016 days 26-31

Day 26: box. Ballerina on a music box.

Day 27: creepy. Reproduction in black ink of one of Franquin’s drawing from Les Idées Noires. Umbrella turning into a bat and lifting the man holding it.

Day 28: burn. Black ink reproduction of John Byrne’s Jean Grey and Phoenix.

2020 April update: Apparently John Byrne himself wondered if this was forgery or bad inks?. He determined ‘“Reproducing” my signature, tho, even badly, still makes it a forgery.‘ So I got confirmation I don’t have a future as a forger 😀

Day 29: surprise. Small boy opening a birthday present.

Day 30: wreck. Shipwreck. Black ink and pen.

Day 31: friend. Three friends playing in front of a mammoth statue.
