Summer trips and inspirations

   Recently my family and I made the trip to Old Orchard Beach in Maine. We even got all the grandparents to come along. The weather was rainy the majority of the time but everyone made the best of it and had fun. The kids still loved playing in the sand and cold Atlantic water. The last day there a thick fog covered the beach. There's something about fog and thunderstorms that always inspires me to write some of my own stories down. 
   I had a few daydreams about sea creatures and strange monsters that may be living in and around the waters there. My 5 year old and I definitely enjoyed running away from the creature we imagined in the water. I'll probably sketch out some ideas I had, maybe in ink and watercolor. ​

Even though it's the middle of summer my mind is wandering from sea creatures and monsters  to Halloween, my favorite holiday. While reorganizing my work space recently  I came across some drawings I did last year during inkober.  Perhaps witchy mouse should have a story? I'm not sure yet but for now it's time to go sketch out these little inspirations.
