Started by illustrator and cartoonist Jake Parker in 2009, Inktober is a global drawing challenge in which artists are tasked with creating one ink drawing a day, every day, for the month of October. Parker releases an official prompt list every year, from which participants can draw inspiration for their works. In honour of Inktober and the wealth of talented artists here in Barbados, here’s just a few of Bajan artists you should be following this month (and afterward too). Feel free to list other Bajan artists participating in the challenge in the comments. To see Parker’s work, check him out on Instagram – @jakeparker – and visit his website. – mrjakeparker.com.
