Ah, October. The one month of the year (and possibly the best one) when all our social media feeds are overtaken not by foreign labels or white celebrities, but by budding local talent. A month besieged by visual artists showcasing the height of their immense creative skill, one where a recurring hashtag on every photo is seen all across the board.
October is no longer October anymore. It's Inktober.
To commemorate, we took to Instagram and asked you which artists you felt were deserving of a spot on our Inktober highlights reel. The list you see below consists of the top ten fan favourites in no particular order.
