MARLEY



This is Marley, Inktopodes number 126.

He is the quintessential Inktopod for which I've been searching. The ink color is Payne's grey and I like that it captures the quality and look of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy without being too dark.

The brush strokes were quick and loose and definite. Marley drifts through the water, without surrendering his own agency.

He is named after the ghost of Scrooge's business partner in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

I like him so much that I think he will take up residence on the physical manifestation of Troy's Work Table.
