Drawings from Inktober 2016

I these drawings Inktober 2016. 
They were originally posted on http://dailynapkins.net, and the links will take you there.

These are the drawings that tipped me off that there might be more to this topic of dysfunctional health and wellness... for me anyway, if not for anyone else.

The sequence runs from October 31st at the top to October 1st at the bottom.

The concept, if I can call it that, initially was that I would use some pseudo medical terms to inspire a humorous drawing of a head with some extra elements. 

Quickly it became clear that I was drawing about some recent health issues I had over the summer, and all of the research that I had done on "Functional" or "Alternative" medicine while working on improving the situation.  I also came to the conclusion that I could only inflict these indignities on my own likeness, so they are all self portraits, kind of. And I was still hoping that they would be funny.

Keeping the stakes low, I used some paper I found in a drawer. I think it might have been 20 or more years old. Each sheet is around 15" x 11" The drawings are pencil, ink and watercolor.
