Cloudy day

Rainy days are great for painting drawing or writing. I think we were in central California somewhere when I did this - maybe near Santa Clara?

It's very hard to find doodles to post when you have a filing system like I do.

Not a doodle or a cartoon

2008-11-03T13:15:00.000-08:00

In this age of digital art - doodling does not always involve pencil and paper - sometimes it's just a visual thing.

This was the bottom of an empty guacamole bowl that I photographed and processed in Adobe Photoshop.

Odd truck doodle

I started with the light on the hood of this funky truck and let my pen go from there. When I draw these kinds of things - the outcome is unknown. I'll put up some more of these unplanned doodles.

Why I am doing this

2008-10-30T10:52:00.000-07:00

As a graphic designer for almost 30 years, I've seen many changes in our field. The most radical being the transition from hand skills - paste-up, darkroom work, and cutting amber/rubylith. Twenty years ago, I made the switch to computer-based design.

Believe me - I would never go back to ruling ink lines or pasting up type galleys.

My attitude changed when a person asked me where I got a certain image that I used on a piece I had designed. Their reaction was one of shock and confusion when I said, "I drew that. Y'know - art?"

That is when I learned that for a lot of noobs to the field, actual drawing is an alien skill once practiced by artists now long dead.

To be fair, I've always been a doodler. I doodle in meetings, at church, on airplanes, restaurant napkins and in the margins of magazines. I do this because I am afraid that if I stop, I may lose the ability or desire.

I've gotten that way about writing letters or anything by hand.

With all this said - I will present some of my doodles and other visual stuff.
