This project started with Inktober'22 prompt list. And the main personal theme was proverbs. But as you can guess, it's kinda difficult to find a proverb about a gargoyle or an armadillo. So it's half of works are proverbs in the end, and some are just quotes and phrases. Some of them are traditionally b'n'w and sometimes my color addiction took the lead. Anyway, hope you will enjoy this little lettering project.
