Sometimes writing in my journal feels too much like work, so I turn to my storyboard Moleskine and doodle instead – it’s never difficult to fill a simple little rectangle with something that comes to mind. I never try to read too much into what comes out on the page and you shouldn’t either. I have to admit that some of this latest batch is influenced by Graham McCallum’s book “400 Art Deco Motifs“, which is a recent source of inspiration.
Research tells us that “doodling improves concentration” so we should all do more of it.

I can see why Barb Lane likes your blog so much. She, too, is an incessant doodler and is one of the most artistic people I know.
It’s kind of addictive …
great post and thanks for mentioning my blog. you just got a new follower
You’re welcome! I have much to learn from your doodling awesomeness, Doodlepack. I like your crayon-work particularly 🙂
Keep doodling!
Hey, I just did a crayon piece today! Its not the same style as the others but its crayon work lol.
Keep those doodles happening!
Cheers!
Lovely.
I especially like the fife and drum one.
Hm, thanks, yes. When I was kid I used to draw things I really wanted to do: play Pete Seeger’s banjo, participate in a cavalry charge, create large explosions, fly a helicopter.
It felt as if drawing those things brought me a bit closer to experiencing them. Lately I have found an urge to do this again.
This doodle is actually a daydream of mine … that’s me on the fife (which I can’t really play very well at all) and one of my friends on the drum and we are busking by a lamp post on a bridge in my home town. Maybe we’ll actually get to do it one day.
