Inky Monday – Where Ink Meets Wordplay

Every Monday gets inky – and a little whimsical.Under the title Inky Monday, a new creature comes to life each week, drawn in ink and always with a wink. These beings are inspired by wordplay, language, and animal forms – and there’s just one rule: they must never be boring.

My favorite so far? The Tiger Prawn

Half big cat, half crustacean.Elegant like a shrimp, striped like a tiger, with a gaze that lands somewhere between wild and curious.

I captured the creation of this little character in a time-lapse video – you’ll find the reel below.I love watching how just a few lines can suddenly shape a personality.

Now it’s your turn:

What kind of word-creatures come to your mind?Clown fish, doctor fish, hammerhead, firefly – language is full of surprising imagery.
