It’s #InktoberDay11! We’ve met the Creepy Husband, and the Evil Midweek Cutie can’t be without the other half of the equation, so here she is, the sleek and sultry… Mrs. Undertaker? Charles Addams must be spinning in his grave with these knockoff #Halloween costumes! #Inktober

Urban Sketchers Cincinnati @uskcincinnati.bsky.social · 2h

Impromptu sketch outing to Cincinnati’s Public Landing for the River Roots Festival! #Usk #urbansketch #urbansketchers #urbansketching #sketching

Sketches of the festival by Cincinnati Urban Sketchers included sketches in ink, graphite, and watercolor.

Six hardy sketchers braved the traffic, parking, and festival crowds to gather on the Purple People Bridge for a view of the riverboats at the Public Landing.

Cincinnati’s own Belle of Cincinnati and River Queen were front and center, with nearly a dozen other boats keeping them company.

Great fun at the River Roots festival in Cincinnati. We even saw a River Boat race at some point! #urbansketching

And now for something completely different! We had our BoUrban Sketchers outing at The Overlook Lodge, a bar homage to the movie The Shining. I decided to do my sketch on black paper with my Posca pens.👀✍
I had a drink called Writers Block. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.🪓#urbansketching

Another rewind to last week. I got to sketch Castelul Peleș on my birthday! It had a lot less scaffolding this year and I loved the ink sketch and decided not to do color. It is the coolest castle in Romania! I hope one day to sketch inside. #urbansketching #travelsketchbook #sketchjournal

What did you think of the second movie? I thought it was odd.

It’s time for #InktoberDay1! This year’s theme is playing off of the unintended comedy that is the lengths that Spirit Halloween Stores will go through to skirt copyright laws with their Legally Distinct Costumes! And we’re starting out with a legit costume: The Juice Demon! #Inktober

So you just got your account back with no explanation?

How aggravating!

We went to a pipe organ concert featuring the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. I kept hoping they would play Toccata and Fugue but no luck.🤣😍✍️

The church has 5 organs and the musician, who I could not find the name of online, was hidden from view. #urbansketching
