Pinterest is like a crazy breeding ground of non attributed images online. It’s taking over Google image results.
It gives good posters.
So, it is the month for Inktober, and also (I just found out) Drawlloween.
Inktober is a pen and ink picture a day for a month challenge. I have done Inktober before, I’ve even Halloween themed it. Since I usually draw for pen and ink, it suits my style.
Drawlloween has no such conditions on how you draw, but does tell you what to draw.
I’m a little behind in scanning and posting, but I have been drawing. I will be posting catch-ups today…follow the posts with the tag #DRAWLLOWEEN.

Yay! The only better stamp news would be if they were also issuing a set of Rankin Bass stamps.
Today is the feast day of St. Jerome, patron saint of librarians, translators and encyclopedists. The Preus Library article by Jane Kemp skillfully describes his life and library:
St. Jerome’s personal library was considered to be the most important private collection of the period. He was a great bibliophile, interested in collecting both pagan and Christian books. His learning was considered unequaled during the time he lived since he was an insatiable reader and had a phenomenal memory for what he learned. Finally, his scholarship broke new ground with his translations of the Bible and Biblical commentaries.
