Every year hundreds of illustrators and animators join the InkTober Initiative, created by illustrator and teacher Jake Parker.

Mooncake Festival : Asia's Mid-Autumn Feast
In the Orient it is the moon that rules, with special occasions plotted
on the lunar calendar. Thus the Mid-Autumn Festival
falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth moon. For 2015 this translates to
September 27 or 28 in the solar or western calendar.

An important part of the festival celebration is moon worship.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Mooncake Festival. For
millions of Chinese across Asia and around the world the Mid-Autumn Festival is a big deal and
second only to Chinese
Lunar New Year celebrations.

September eclipses & Autumn equinox
September marks several dates of import that impact us on a variety of
levels - cosmic, global, national, local and personal - stirring us to the core.
On September 12 and 13 a partial solar eclipse occurred - the center of the moon's shadow missed the earth, partly obscuring our view of the sun.

our yellow brick road : NYC with friends
Last night was spent in the company of childhood friends - catching up on each others' lives, forging current connections, leaving lasting memories.
What a gift and blessing it is to get to a place in life where the thread that runs through it shows up with clarity. Better even when we have the experience of how it interweaves in and out of each other's lives.
In sharing and exchanging our stories last night this was made manifest with great joy and delight.
