Another meeting, another doodle...

I had a 2.5 hour meeting at work recently. As it covered everything the whole department was doing, there was very little input I could make so I was mainly there to listen. Of course, when listening, my ears and brain are in use..but my hands and eyes are free, so doodling tends to happen.

This one ended up with a shape forming suggesting it be a floating island in the sky, with a volcano pouring smoke out of the top...

A great ape

A while ago, I went to visit a friend in London. I wanted to bring her a personal gift, and I knew she liked orangutans, so...

I found a good clear and translatable-into-simple lines image online, and a poem mentioning orangutans, which begins "Purple orangutans hurtle through space", which I used to overwrite the lines. By the way, you have no idea how tricky it was to find a "fun" poem about orangutans!

So, I put them together, and this was the result - I think he's got a cheeky look to him!

The joy of meetings

I attended a "summit" at a previous workplace a few months ago. Although the content of it was reasonably interesting/capable of keeping me awake, I had a notepad, and no real notes worthy of taking.
So, instead, I doodled.


This just started out as a random shape, and as it grew, I started to see what i thought was a shape in it, so I built it from there.
Tempted now to do a similar one for prints, in the style of the maps - draw an outline, and fill it with doodles, but in this case, then remove the outline.

Whaddya think - a design worth me doing?
