0 Comments

 
Journey Planet is venturing forth with a new thingee for the website! This year, we want to highlight the incredible work of all the artists we know and love, and those we may not yet know and/or love, and present #Inktoberfest!!!
Every day (mostly!) we'll be presenting work from YOU! and some of ourselves. We're not being too strict about it, if you have a piece that uses ink in any sort of way, send it to us, and we'll feature it here. You can send a piece every day (or multiple!) or a few times throughout the month, or even only once. We're about celebrating the work from y'all!
BUT...
If you need a prompt, below you can see the official Inktober 2022 list, or you can use one of the up-coming issue themes if'n you wanna perhaps see it in the issue. Upcoming themes include Robin Hood and Tim Powers, and we'll announce more!
