Botober day 9’s prompt is “Buttermade.” This one almost stymied me but then I remembered the Iowa State Fair’s butter cow. #botober #botober2026 #botoberday9 #art #resistthroughart

This one’s a stretch but he does have ram horns. Today’s Inktober day 9 prompt is “Ram.” #inktober #inktober2026 #inktoberday9 #inktoberram #resistthroughart

Botober’s day 8 prompt is “Shot Lazer.” #botober #botober2026 #botoberday8 #art #resistthroughart

Another Grimm (the show) scene, thanks to prompt “Stinky” for day 8 of Inktober. In Grimm, the Kallikantzaroi were prepubescent boys who transformed into these goblins before Xmas. They could only be stopped with fruitcake. And they smelled terrible! #inktober #inktober2026 #resistthroughart

Botober day 7 prompt is “Expected Shoes.” I actually found these Sketchers that are called “Expected Avillo.” So yeah. #botober #botober2026 #botoberday7 #art #resistthroughart

The three little pigs are definitely in a panic when the wolf arrives at the final brick house. “Panic” is day 7’s prompt for Inktober. #inktober #inktober2026 #inktoberday7 #art #resistthroughart

Botober prompt for day 6 is “Rocks of the Wind.” That cradle really shouldn’t have been on the tree top. #botober #botober2026 #day6 #art #resistthroughart

Grimm (the show) fan that I am, I think of this guy when I think of “Ogre,” day 6’s Inktober prompt. #inktober #inktober2026 #inktoberday6 #ogre #resistthroughart

Botober day 5 prompt is Cat to Cow. #botober #botober2026 #day5 #art #resistthroughart

The Frog King originally has the frog receiving a smack against the wall that changes him back to his human self, not a kiss. Which, given he was insisting he share a bed with the young princess, seems appropriate. So here’s “Smack” for day 5 of Inktober. #inktober #inktober2026 #resistthroughart

Botober’s day 4 prompt is “Star You Chase.” #botober #botober2026 #botoberstaryouchase #art #resistthroughart

Less fanciful but still on theme, for today’s prompt “Cactus” I give you a fairy tale cactus. The name refers to their resemblance to castles. They’re night-blooming and have beautiful flowers. I love their white spines! #inktober #inktober2026 #inktobercactus #art #resistthroughart

Day 3 of Botober is “Dust of the Dancer.” #botober #botoberday3 #dustofthedancer #art #resistthroughart

Thumbling doesn’t let his small stature stop him from helping out. He’s a miniature helper, for day 3’s prompt “miniature.” #inktober #inktober2026 #inktoberminiature #art #resistthroughart

Day 2 of Botober was Excessive Wet. #botober #botober26 #excessivewet #day2 #resistthroughart

It’s Inktober time! My theme this year is fairy tales. Today’s prompt is “Apple” so I had to go with poor Snow. #inktober2026 #inktober #apple #art #resistthroughart
