Time on Cloud 9

This time

Next time

It's about time

Time to move on

Killing time

Time is on my side

Time heals all

Time flies

Sands of time

Time is money
Out of time
Time to go
Time-out
Past time
No time like the present

Timeless

Time will tell

Time goes on.

Turn Your Doodles Into A Stuffed, Well...Thing?

I literally 'Stumbled Upon' this site, which is based in Scotland. They'll take your doodle art and create a stuffed animal, house, creature or whatever! I'd love to do this, but which one? The Vessel doodle might make an interesting pillow...

Vessel

Tubular Tree

(Xmas at Work 2007) 

I loved making this tree. The white stacked tubes are from the photo paper rolls I used at work. I saved them from a landfill, for awhile anyway. The greenery was nabbed from an old wreath. The white pinecones were on the wreath. I made the bejeweled icycle ornaments, although the hooks were purchased. I ended up giving them away, one-by-one to various co-workers.

The pair of redbirds are on a silver painted twig. I love using birds and nests on Christmas trees. The red wooden cranberry strands, the red and silver ball ornaments, and the mini-lights were items I already had on hand.

Nothing was glued or pinned-down. Everything was stacked, wrapped and/or hooked very carefully. One drawback is that every time someone walked close to the table, I'd cringe. One big nudge and the whole thing would have come down!

Wave Back - Chair Sculpture

I just opened a shop on Etsy. Check it out! I'm finally ready to sell my chair sculpture "Wave Back" and hope there's someone out there that loves it as much as I do. It's been on a small platform pedestal in my place since the beginning. I've treated it like a museum piece, but I'm ready to see someone actually use it, if that's what they want...

Please drop by and mark it as a favorite!

Doodling Improves Comprehension...

Shoe Doodler

I recently had a gig at a department store to doodle on Tom's shoes for customers. I used Sharpies! It was fun and I've since picked up some shoe-doodling projects from co-workers.

The photo shows my own shoes that I practiced on using Sharpies. I used to just wear them to walk the dog or work in the garden. They're now one of my favorites!

doodle book: Discovering Your Visual Language

Now available as an eBook for Kindle!

Clemens Bookstore

One drawback for publishing the book for Kindle reading is that all of the doodles and art pieces are no longer in color. I felt that the contents were so rich in information and exercises that the lower pricing for eBooks out-weighed the loss of color. The art is strong enough to translate my intensions from color to black and white imagery.

Escapes

Cityscape

This doodle began with a simple shape in the center. From that point on it became an exercise in adding decorative elements, incorporating both positive and negative spaces.

My early doodles were mostly created with a black felt pen and then enhanced with a red felt pen. In Cityscape I've added a blue color as well, which opened the door to later doodles that exploded with the full color spectrum.

Seeing Eye to Eye

Sometimes I'd use patterns to fill in areas. It could be just dots or a graphic I made up. I think that I was really just stalling, waiting for the next choice and not quite ready to end the doodle.
