Today's nap time doodle session. Pen on cardboard with color added digitally.

Excavators

Doodling on a Friday night may lead to odd and quirky excavations. I often think of my doodling as excavating the designs hidden beneath the surface of the paper, or in this case cardboard. At least I use that as a starting point and then things take on a direction of their own.

This was pen on a piece of cardboard packaging, color added digitally.

Pollenation

Here's a new drawing I just finished up. Going through my old sketchbooks made me pick up a ball point pen which used to be my pen of choice. Now I prefer rollerball tips which behave a little more consistently. I used a pen my father in law made on his lathe which is good for writing but feels a little weird to draw with. But having a few small obstacles like that forces an element of unpredictability into the process which is nice. As has been my usual practice of late, all color was done digitally so the original is black and white only and can be viewed on our flickr page if you click on the image.

Old School #5 - The Beast with Yoda

This is yet another whacked out drawing from my old high school sketch book. I was definitely into the abstract surreal stream of consciousness doodling at the time. Can you find the hidden Yoda?

Ols School #4 - Shaman

Continuing this theme of old sketches pulled my sketchbook from high school, circa 1993.

Old School #3 - Oculous

Another little sketch from my old high school sketch book circa 1993.

Old School #3 - Mesa Verde's Mad

Here is another drawing from my old high school sketch book circa 1993. If you click on the picture you can see a larger version on flickr as a lot of the detail get's lost at this small blog size.
