Hello once again, art connoisseurs. Back to review another year of Inktober masterpieces? Well you’re in luck, because this year we are featuring not one, but TWO artists who took the challenge.

It’s a double feature, ladies and gentlemen! A clash of pen-and-ink expertise! Now, without further ado, the art! Bailey Day’s drawings are on the left.

Welcome once again to the blog, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jorel, and I just want to say that YOU. . . are fantastic. But enough about you, let’s talk more about Bailey Day! I thought we’d stick with the ongoing theme for one more blog post. We’ve already talked about Bailey Day’s real life animal companion, and Bailey Day’s virtual animal friends, but there is one more kind of animal that Bailey Day is familiar with that is neither real nor virtual. Well, they are real “physically” at least, but they’re not alive. Though they are able to come alive if you have enough IMAGINATION! Have you solved my riddle yet? I’m talking about. . . STUFFED ANIMALS! ...
