Folktober is an artist challenge similar to inktober, but rooted in folklore- on Instagram in the month of October artists respond to the same list of 31 prompts that correspond to different folkloric figures, places and tales. It's currently run by Blackthorn Ritualistic Folk, and Johnny Greenteeth. I've gathered my highlights of 2023's Folktober below and to the right. If you are interested in seeing them all, seeing colour variants, or learning the folklore behind them, visit my instagram @florivot.
