pen and ink

"Unthought-of Frailties cheat us in the Wise." ~ Alexander Pope, Moral Essays (1731-35), Epistle To Temple, line 69. I really had to ponder this quote and figure out how to illustrate it. A spider came to mind...so tiny and fragile in comparison yet invokes so much fear. Then considered a daddy long leg.

#Mindless prompt for Inktober. I'm late with uploading here, so if you'd like to see my illustrations for the previous days and and early look at today's prompt #build check out my instagram.

I'm drawing a golf cart per day for Inktober.

Day 2 #mindless, #Inktober 2019. No forethought or sense, just space. It's good to be mindless sometimes but remember to be aware, and compassionate with those around you, especially those closer to you. You never know what other people are dealing with. Try to be kind. Daily drawing #643
