Mel's Inktober 20 - Poor Lampwick

Now, here's a scary scene that becomes even scarier as you grow up, and that's still toned down a great deal from the original fairy tale. Sheesh, talk about trying to scare 'em straight!


For all my love for Pinocchio, this is one aspect of the movie I do frown upon. The one scene I'm inclined to skip is the meeting with the Coachman at the tavern, and I find it quite sad and pathetic that we never get proper closure with Lampwick and the other boys turned donkeys. 

What's worse, they somehow couldn't be bothered to fix this in the 2022 remake. The only difference is girls are included among the victims, and they're essentially doomed just for having a little too much fun at a cursed carnival. Really, Disney, what were you thinking?

Inktober 2019 - Day 5

General Conference weekend has arrived. Regretfully, I had to work this morning and most of the afternoon, but I got home in time to catch the last couple of speakers for the Saturday afternoon session, and then I joined my entire family in the Women's Session at our stake center, and afterward we had dinner at Dairy Queen. Then Mom and Christine had to make a quick (or not so quick) trip to the store, and we went to none other than my old work place, WinCo Foods.

This means I was out of the house for most of the day, so access to my computer and art stuff was very limited. But it was a pretty good day overall; I even brought home a bunch of gingerbread mummies from work, as a special family treat, just because.

And you know the old saying, "Better late than never." So, without further ado, here's "Inktober" entry #5: Build. Pretty adorable, eh?


Day 5 for "Fantasytober": A Werewolf with Candy. Some of my werewolf characters may be sympathetic and even friendly; others, you'll want to run as far away from them as possible, as quickly as possible! And I love candy to pieces, but not that many pieces.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

A very happy birthday to my mom, Carolyn Dahl Mather. Hope you had a great day, Mom. We all love you and appreciate you more than words can ...
