Inktober 2018: Artist Spotlight

Each year, in the month of October, there is an artist prompt list commonly referred to as “Inktober”. This prompt has a different subject to draw for each day in October. It pushes these artists who participate to create some impressive works and sometimes step a little out of their comfort zone which is always a treat to see for the fans. It is an interesting way to see how these artists interpret each prompt to include their own signature style. Below is the most widely used prompt list, however some artists stray from this list and add their own twist to it.

Many talented artists have joined in this year and some inspiring pieces have been brought to life as a result.

NC Winters is based out of San Diego, California and creates stunning, detailed images that explore the depth of subconsciousness. Constantly creating, Winters never ceases to amaze with his work. He is a large influence in the community and has participated in numerous exhibitions and solo events. Winters has also created posters for many of the well known artists in the rock poster scene including Grateful Dead, Primus, Metallica, and others. These were a few of his takes for Inktober:

One of my personal favorites during this prompt list has been Erik Martinez (aka Epikmoore). His takes on the subject matter have been fascinating to watch and some truly amazing work has been put out. Epikmoore is based out of Houston, Texas and is always creating detail packed works of art. He will be participating in his next exhibition this coming November at Designer Con. Here are some of his prompts below:

Last but not least, Chaya Av has been putting her spin on the prompts and knocking them out of the park. Chaya is based out of Florida and has attended numerous events and exhibitions including Art Basel Miami and even live painting events such as Toyota Art Car Project. She is well known for her colorful, eye catching murals and paintings creating imaginative works. Her work flows seemlessly along and is sure to stand out. Below are a few of her Inktober works:
