IF- Focused

Doodled this at work on my lunch break. Thank God for post-its and gel pens! :)

IF- Music

Done with my PITT pens and watercolor pencils.

Punny Paddywagon

I doodled this little guy (by little I mean about 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches) on the envelope of a card I sent to my friend, Pat. As you may have guessed, I sometimes call her "Pattywagon" :)

IF- Fast

Think Fast Little Piggie!!!!

The colors still aren't really coming through on the scans but I'm still having lots of fun with my watercolor pencils and PITT pens! :)

Inspire Me Thursday- Wings

Look familiar? Beware! Return of the Doodle Bugs!! :)

IF- Flying

Sketched this octopus for my Art House project.

His arms are flying through the water!

IF- Germs

You're Invited!!

Germ Bash 2009
Special Guests: Mad Cow Disease, Bird Flu, Swine Flu

IF- Pattern

Sketched this for the Art House Sketchbook Project using black Micron pens and a big fat rainbow colored pencil. Loved doing the scales. Definitely a fun pattern!

Here's a close-up of the scales!

IF- Infinite

Doodled this little guy yesterday between work and class. Thought the quote was funny and wanted to work on a little lettering.

IF- Strong

I usually don't like to post older works but I found this page in a journal I was keeping over the summer. It seemed fitting for the word strong...

IF- Caution

This one was done with black ink and colored pencil. The background color didn't scan very well but I think it still works! Thanks to Pat and Cathy for the inspiration on this one... I guess sometimes thinking caps DO look like orange cones!

IF- Wrapped

IF- Impatience

I am not impatient with my life. My life is impatient with me!

IF- Modify

I wanted to attempt a Zentangle but was not in a positive state when I set out to try it.

I decided to modify these song lyrics to portray a sense of being trapped and to express the feelings of desperation that can sometimes accompany depression or “the blues.”

I've found that Zentangles are indeed therapeutic!!

Black and White Doodles

I did these teeny little doodles at Artfits on Tuesday. I've typically think of a subject and then set out to draw it. In this case, I learned it can be a lot of fun to doodle randomly and THEN find the subject. The general consensus was that this one looks like a bird.

And that this one looks like an alien or some underwater sea creature.

What do you think they look like??

IF Idle

This doodle bug is idle.

This doodle bug is not.

Artfits Banner

I created a new banner for our Artfits blog! Click here to check it out!

Illustration Friday: Drifting

Doodled this on a purple post-it at work while I was waiting for my computer to reboot. Decided to try the Illustration Friday thing I've heard so much about. :o)

Artfits Contribution

I've finally contributed something to the Artfits blog (besides a counter)... check it out here. We had our bi-weekly meeting last night. I feel so inspired!! I can't wait to dive into all the new projects we've dreamed up. I swear there's nothing like brainstorming with that group. One little idea turns into a multimillion dollar corporation haha. I'm so fortunate to be able to spend time with such great artists... and friends!
