Painted Zip disk. Mixed media. I love old retro stuff and found rejected objects. It's hard to believe how fast zip, floppy, jaz, etc. disks became yesterdays technology. It's about time these old disks found a new purpose and some respect.
Wow. Like you, I'm old enough to have actually used zip disks. Not sure how much of our community would understand what is was like to carry around your entire library of work on 5 of these clunky things and pray it doesn't get damaged. The cloud has surely simplified things. Love the idea of repurposing them with art. Now you got me wanting to go dig around looking for my old ones.
@okat 100mb on a portable disk when all we knew was 1.7mb was revolutionary. And I used to walk to school 1 mile in the snow with no shoes both ways. The kids today don't know how to suffer like we did.
So, I really wasn't going to participate in inktober this year because of time constraints. But I saw some simple line art stuff from others that looked fun. I'll see how far I can make it this year.

Here is a character I have been thinking about off and on. She is a seagull who loves the beach and everything to do with it. Especially jellyfish.

My first submission to inktober 2018 on day 5. I'm not sure if I will make up days 1-4. It all depends on a wonderful thing called time. Arrrrgh!

The 3x3 Illustration Annual I was recently chosen to be in, inspired this recent doodle. Fireworks went off in my head and then spilled out on this Moleskine page.

I could quite happily live in the worlds you create! In fact, I just did for over an hour when I should have been working! Thank you for the joy!
