A few years ago, during the month of October, I sketched a little couple on a small piece of paper. Almost like doodling, the drawing took life and I named it “Love”. A few days later, while awake in the late hours of the night, I started another scene…and named it “Lure”. Enjoying the “L” theme, and how drawing was better thank lying awake in bed, I decided to call them scenes 1, and 2…and decided I needed 10 of them, all to be completed in the month of October. I am a big fan of Edward Gorey and Edgar Allan Poe, who clearly influenced my drawings.
On the night of the 31st of October, I finished the last scene I had set out to complete: “Lair”.
All 10 scenes were done. Here they are, my “October Scenes”.
Scene II -“Lure”
Scene III – “Link”
Scene IV – “Lullaby”
Scene V – “Loyalty”
Scene VI – “Lunacy”
Scene VII – “Ludic”
Scene VIII – “Lyrical”
Scene IX – “Ludicrous”
Scene X – “Lair”
Scene I – “Love”

These were very cool especially the names of each giving context to deeper meanings
Thank you Raina! I'm glad you like them :) Yeah, there's a lot more to each than what shows on a first glance :)

I love these magical, mysterious, wonderfully detailed, apt October scenes. The characters are so lively and distinctive in a fascinating sequence of events. Certainly an amazing way to deal with sleeplessness!
The phone screen didn't do these drawings justice. I had to look at each amazing scene on the desktop computer to appreciate the wonderful elaborate details, of expression, environment, poetry, humor, meaning and mystery. Perfect October art.
Hi Caroline, Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed and looked at them on the big screen :) Yeah, I remember finishing many of these in the middle of the night, but I was having fun. (and going blind from the teeny details I included :)

These are wonderfully dark and whimsical! I'm also a fan of Gorey. Have you checked out John Kenn Mortensen? Love his book "Sticky Monsters".
Haha. I have several books illustrated by him...guilty as charged. Now I want the ones with the work on John Kenn Mortensen.
