Perhaps a good 25-35% of my art is from doodling at work.
Good times.
Hanging around in the kitchen, I had my watercolors handy, and did a watercolor doodle on the table. Sounds wrong.
I've done very little in color compared to the number of images I do in black and white, and so I should really do more in color.
You ever in the kitchen on the phone for a long time, and you start to doodle, then, once you're finished you find you've drawn something that's kind of unlike anything you've ever drawn before?
Once, my Dad re-traced over the Batman logo on the issue where the new Robin (Tim Drake) debuted. I was mighty pissed!
Of course, that's probably karma for me destroying his brick barbecue with a sledgehammer when I was five years old.
Looking back, I can see how my subject matter shifted depending on the girl I was dating at the time.
I can't imagine I'd ever have come around to drawing up pregnant Fairies with pixie cuts if it weren't for a particular someone.
The second Pregnant Fairy pic. It had been years after Lilith Fair and it had left it's impression on many, many females my age.
Yep, that's a wand in her hand on the left. ;)
A man contacted me via this sight, asking if he could use a gargoyle drawing for a book cover.
The drawing he was asking about was quite old and not particularily strong, so I told him I'd draw him a new one.
I banged this out during lunch, scanned it, added the parchement and colouring and viola! They mailed me a copy of the book.
I'm pretty happy and proud.
For the process he emailed me pictures of gargoyles and I did my own bit of research. Was fun!
For new years I went to a 'Eighties rocker' theme party, so I decided to go as a member of Devo.
I got the idea only about a week before the party, and also being a procrastinater there would be no way I'd actually be ready ahead of time.
So I ran to the dollar store, bought a few dog dishes, some bathroom filler, looked up the measurements online and built a damn hat.
People loved it!
I forget the exact details, but the source of this was something like:
"Oh you want a cat?"
"Sure do."
"Well, just imagine, you come home one day an I'm dressed like a cat."
"...Rather not."
"Me neither, those costumes are itchy and warm."
"..."
Cat costume, surprise

I was a big fan of Lego as a kid. Give me a few new pieces and I'd be quiet for hours. I'm sure that's why my parents bought me so much. I still have my box of it sitting at the bottom of my hallway closet - that was over 20 years ago! These days, there's no time to play with it, but a Lego Guy makes a great doodle. Good practice for cubism, humanoid abstraction and perspective.
