Inktober-2024 on Greg Moore

I have to face the fact that I’ve given up on this year’s Inktober. I am far more creative making one-off pieces for actual humans than doing challenges for strangers on the internet.

Creative Challenges

Apparently, I needed another smack-to-the-head reminder that October is the worst month to commit myself to a daily creative challenge like Inktober. I only made it eight days before life broke my streak and now I’m more than five days behind. I would normally feel bad about it but, unlike previous years, I didn’t put all of my creative irons into Inktober’s unforgiving fire. In fact, I’ve never been on more of a hot streak, pushing my creative boundaries further and outputting more varied work than before. (I’m especially proud of the poster I just finished as a present for my weekly D&D group.)

Turns out, I’ve learned (yet again) that I am more creative making one-off pieces for actual humans than strangers on the internet. When it really comes down to it, creative work is all about connecting with people. Creative work connects us with others and isn’t about productivity, fake internet points, or any other trappings that hustle-culture tries to hang on it.

My Inktober progress was halted by… a different art deadline. I will have to play catch up tonight before I fall too far behind!

(Spoiler: I felll too far behind.)
