It’s been a while since I offered any of my “object doodles”, but today I found these gum wrappers on my desk. I knew I had kept them for a reason. So in between (a very stressful day) I decided I would do small today. These are simple and crude, yet they still offer an artistic flair. Now it makes it very hard to toss these Wrigley and “5” gum wrappers away. Oh well i will just have to add them to my collection.
Maybe this will give you an incentive to doodle for the world challenge. You don’t need a huge canvas, just see what can be done with a tiny piece of paper.
Yesterday for a while our internet went down (gotta love that Comcast) and to add insult to injury my new bill arrived which included a huge price hike. So I hoped on the phone to get answers. Was I in for a surprise. I cannot tell you how long they kept me on hold (granted it was the tail end of a holiday weekend, but they are supposed to be so proud of there 24 hr service). The irony was that by the time I was done with them on the first of 2 calls, my one DVR machine was not working (and I wasn’t even having Cable problems to start with). What a mess.
As I sat on hold at my desk I just had to doodle, and I had these white envelopes handy (you can’t really tell by the picture, but they are the white classic linen envelopes which I use for my stationery, a nice texture to work with.) I had messed up an order so I have over one hundred and fifty printed with an incorrect address. In most instances these would be rendered useless, but not to a doodler. I grabbed my sharpies, and while a waited listening to the sweet voice telling me ” The next available customer service representative will be with you shortly” I drew and drew and lo an behold came up with these 3 mini masterpieces.
These are good enough to be framed and now I know what I can do with the remaining 147 addressed envelopes…. it’s not like they’re going anywhere.
By the way, Comcast came back on and I was able to get this posted on time….. still have not missed a day.
This was actualy the 3rd Envelope I did.
Here is Envelope #2
Good thing I had my Sharpie set handy:
And this was #3
All during 2 phone calls
with Comcast.
I guess I have been eating a ton of yogurt, because I found this whole pile of Yogurt lids on my desk. so needless to say they had to be “doodled up”. This isn’t even all of them, so we’ll be seeing LiDoodles for quite a while.
It has been quite some time since I did any object doodling, so the LiDoodles make for a nice changes. Now I plan to pick the best and frame them. How cool would that look.
The other night i was burning a video montage to DVD and it kept erroring out. Finally worked after the 4th try, but I was left with these DVDs that were now un-usable. Time to whip out the pen and doodle on them. I had done a CD doodle quite a while back, but this one came out really well, so I just had to put it up for all to see.
Enjoy!
Have to finish off the series of Lid Doodles. Now I need to think of a fun way to display then as well. Who would have thought a Yogurt Cup lid could one day become an item of Art (maybe just me), but I did have fun making them and that’s what counts.
So here we have Lid Doodles part II:
Ok, so they are not “The Mona Lisa”
But I enjoyed making them.
It’s been ages since I did any object doodles and for those followers that haven’t seen what I did in the past, click on the category “Doodle on Objects” and take a look. An egg, a banana, tennis ball and much much more.
The other day I was munching on a yogurs and was just about to toss the lid into recycling, when it dawned on me that the lid was perfect for a doodle, especially my circular doodles. . . the lid as a pefect center starting point. Before you knew it, I had racked up 6 new Lid doodles or “Lidoodles” So over the next few days I will share them along with some other doodled on objects I have,
Do like skul dooles are now Skoodles, Lid doodles are now Lidoodles, Here are teh first three that I did:
Pretty cool, how we got featured on the Skull a day website this weekend. How does one follow that up? I had a pretty crazy hectic weekend, but I managed to squeeze in another couple of Ceramic tile doodles that I wanted to share with you.
Here’s the first one, I hope you enjoy.
Another ceramic tile doodle

Nothing is safe from the doodle pen. Not even an old Nintendo controller. If I was allowed i’d take on the wii controllers too. These turned out fun
Here’s the before:
Before under going "an extreme makeover"
and here we have the “after”
After the make over

I have more mice crawling around in my basement than I care to think about. No, not the ones that eat cheese, but rather the clickable ones. Now a days with touch pads and wireless, the original is fast becoming obsolete. So take out your mice and give them a new look. My little guy got kinda smudged along the way, but that’s because my permanent sharpie dried up and I was in a hurry to get this posted.
Regardless, you get the idea. So make it a winter project, get out your pens and doodle your mice. (and I mean that in the cleanest way)
Here’s my attempt.
Field Mouse
Country Mouse
Mickey Mouse
Mouse Trap
Who moved my cheese?
We all have old appliances lying around the house. Walkman, CD players, ipods, mice, controllers. They are just collecting dust in basement and attics. What do we do with these “no longer needed” items Throw em out, so they end up comtaminating landfills? I don’t think so. We should all be creative with our unwanted, no longer needed items. So, I decided to spruce them up and turn them into pieces of art. Electronic doodles is what I have come up with this week. Now they are not the easiest things to draw on, because of uneven surfaces and odd shapes, but then again they are being doodled on, not body painted and I wanted them to retain some of their original features.
I was at first thinking I would prime paint them white and then draw on then, but that would be no different than drawing on white paper. So instead I left them as is and see what comes out.
My first victim was an old CD player, that was given a purple hue….
Al Old Panasonic - done!
