Day 455 – Mandalas

September 28th, 2010 2 comments

I often get asked if my designs were intentional Mandalas and I had never thought of them that way.  To me there were just designs. These are like going back to my roots.  My first set of designs were done in this fashion.  For today, I thought I would go back to my roots.  These were all done in meetings yesterday.  I love the mix of black and blue, hopefully they translate well via scan. you tell me.

Here’s Mandala 1:

and Mandala #2

is a Star Shaped/Floral

I will have more of these tomorrow.

Day 454 – Da Croc

September 27th, 2010 2 comments

I mentioned that in my series of long meetings last week, I doodled away and many of those were animal inspired.  Here’s the first of those drawings.  This was not intended to be a croc or alligator.  It started off as a curve, but slowly evolved into a beast of prey.  I love the want we he came out.

What do you think?  A perfect addition to the animal collection

Here’s our good friend; Da Croc

Take a bite!

Day 452 – Late Entry

September 25th, 2010 No comments

I had major issues getting into my blog last night, so today’s doodle comes to you a little later than normal.  The important thing is that it is still Day 452, so we did not miss a beat.  Coming to the end of the purple series, but as we all know…. nothing ever truely comes to an end, so purple will be back.  This one I just scanned in, so the purple did not come out as bold as I would have liked.

Enough said, here’s todays doodle:

Day 451 – Long week

September 24th, 2010 3 comments

This week feels like it went on and on forever, and we are only getting started with Friday. It has been insanely busy and we had to deal with the Twitter Hacker and Facebook going down, what a week.

Yesterday I spent 3 straight hours in meetings back to back. I got a ton of really cool doodles drawn. They will show up next week. Here’s another in the purple series. I am sure you will all be sick of “the Color purple” (no offence Whoopi & Oprah) after this weeks experiment is over.

I do like all these doodles though. Here’s another where the photographed and scanned image came out so differently.

Day 450 – Purple swirl

September 23rd, 2010 No comments

This is day 4 of the purple series and my purple sharpie is slowly drying up on me.  Might call for a trip to Office Depot for a replacement. Don’t  you love the swirls on this one.  I didn’t even dare try scan it in, I went straight for the camera.  I think I need a light box.  Any suggestions?

Day 449 – 2Scan or not 2Scan

September 22nd, 2010 3 comments

Here is Day 3 of the Purple series.  This one highlights the difference between the scanned image and the photo image.  The Scanned image shows the look I was going for.  A continuation of yesterday’s wave,   but you don’t see the sharp colors.  hopefully the photo below portrays that.

and

as you can see

the scanned version

does not show the colors

half as well.

and here

is the image

in it’s

original state.
