Ink People

An artist has compiled her 'Detox Doodles', a collection of bird drawings including owls, ducks and chickens, created during a 100-day challenge to replace phone scrolling with daily sketching. The project, shared on her website, blends art and science illustration in ink. Responses so far are limited but warmly positive.

Artists are posting their day three drawings for Inktober, the annual October challenge where participants create one ink drawing per day. One participant shared a sketchbook piece made with a fountain pen and brush pen, tagging it for the art community. People are following along daily, sharing their own work and enjoying others' interpretations of the daily prompts.

An artist has posted an ink and wash drawing of a Northern Cardinal, describing the medium as a relaxed way to work because it eases the pressure of precise painting. The piece, tagged under watercolour, birding and wildlife themes, is drawing small appreciation from nature and art enthusiasts who enjoy loose, expressive depictions of familiar backyard birds.

The 'Ink & Art Fest' took place with the aim of reminding people affected by cancer that they are not fighting alone. The event combined art and tattoo activities to bring together patients, survivors, families and supporters, according to reporting from ABC4 Utah in Utah. It served as both a fundraiser and a show of solidarity for the cancer community.

An artist has completed a 100-day project called Detox Doodles, replacing time spent scrolling on her phone with daily sketching, focusing on animals such as orangutans. She has published the resulting ink drawings on her website. The project is being shared as an example of swapping screen time for a creative habit.

The California Arts Council has awarded grants to Eureka-based arts nonprofit Ink People and its DreamMaker projects, supporting three programs: veterans' clay sessions, a 'Field Guide to a Crisis', and a DIY art and ecology initiative. The funding will back community-focused creative work in Humboldt County and highlight locally driven art projects that connect veterans, mental health, and environmental engagement.
