This concludes my personal inktober challenge of illustrating my favourite quotes. I slightly cheated as rather than drawing a fresh piece I went back and added it to one of the first things I did way back when my art story began.

This is a tribute to Hannah Dains' moving poem "Don't kill yourself" performed by her here:

The world is a better place with you in it. Keep fighting to stay with us and we'll find reasons for you to keep fighting for the world is a better place with you in it.

"You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are." I enjoyed this interpretation of "we all are mad here" from the film version of Alice in Wonderland. And can attest to it's sentiment from all the wonderful, interesting & bonkers people I've had the pleasure of knowing

"I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it" - William Shakespeare. The contentment I feel amongst old forests is just so. Although I never feel like it's time wasted.

"It'll be alright in the end, and if it's not alright it's not the end" is a quote that has been attributed to a few different people and said in different ways but any words that keep someone going one day more are worth using. Alongside a lotus flower a symbol of hope and resilience.

"He was determined to discover the underlying logic behind the universe, which was going to be hard, because there wasn't one" - could pick hundreds of quotes from Terry Pratchett. His level of wit, word play and perspectives on things has inspired me greatly.

"you are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful. To make this life a wonderful adventure" an extract from Charlie Chaplin's incredible speech in The Great Dictator. Just as relevant now as it was then.

"Be afraid, but do it anyway" a Carrie Fisher quote that has been a mantra at many points in my life. Coupled with cowardly dog who reminds me of one of the strongest and bravest people I know.

For inktober I thought l'd illustrate quotes that have lived in my head. Whenever that black dog weighs on me and just can't find the energy or will to do anything, even something normally fun, I often think of sad Lisa Simpson and the incredulous gym teacher who said "too sad, to play dodgeball?!"

To the people putting out their washing during a massive high wind rain storm and including this little guy who is holding on for dear life in case their knackers fall off. I don't think your clothes are getting dry any time soon. But I reckon your elf on a shelf won't give you any grief this year.

These instructions for a kick stool are great. I particularly like the "4. - smack it into place with your bare hand" and the bottom left "get the f out my house!" A story is told here and I need the details.

Went for a walk in the woods and found a perfectly good vase on top of some sadly dumped rubbish. Now to walk home with it and wonder if people think I'm carrying someone's ashes around with me.

A year older and I wonder at what point I'll actually feel like a proper adult rather than some goof ball winging it. Anyway here's me feeding cake to a lovely gifted iron man helmet.

As I was taking shots of my tattoo amongst the bluebells that inspired it. One of the bluebells tapped the screen and took this shot which was by far the best. So it's a picture of a bluebell tattoo, amongst the bluebells, taken by a bluebell.
