History of Ghostober

Last year's October Art Challenge, GHOSTOBER 2021. This image depicts a list of 31 prompts for artists to follow and create new art!

In 2020 I decided to put a spin on the popular Inktober trend, where a list of daily art prompts are shared for the month of October. My take was Ghostober, a list of daily prompts for ghostly artwork in which anyone could follow along to create with me as I made new ghost art every day.

The front cover for the book Ghosts Volume Two by Flukealdy — Ghosts: Volume Two by Flukelady

It all culminated in Ghosts : Volume One, a full-color art book that I independently designed and published via my website. The book also featured several submissions from readers and followers like you! In 2021, I released a follow-up in Ghosts: Volume Two.

What year did GHOSTOBER start? 2020 was the year I launched Ghostober. 2022 will be my third year doing Ghostober!

Will there be another book? If it happens, it will be a hardcover book, bigger than the previous two, and something really special to celebrate our ghost art.

How can I get a copy of Ghosts Vol. 1 and 2? These books are currently out of print. Subscribe to my mailing list to be notified when they come back!

Can I Share Anywhere Else?

You can post your submissions below in the comments section! Use the file upload feature to attach an image of your creation and everyone who visits this page will see it. Please note that comments are manually-approved so it may take a few hours for your comment to appear for everyone else to see. Please be patient!

Halloween Art Challenge

I want Ghostober to be as inclusive as possible, so this year I’m continuing the idea of a tiered October art challenge, that you can approach at your own pace.
