So, “why is it ‘sort of a doodle’?”, you might ask.
What? You didn’t ask? Well, I’m gonna tell ya anyway, Mister Fancy Pants!
It started as a meeting doodle. No, really. I know you’re shocked. But then it was just sitting there on my desk, minding its own business, when… BAM! I watercolored the daylights out of that sucker, thus elevating it from mere “doodle” to the lofty status of “sort of doodle” for all eternity. I’m sure it’s grateful; you can see it in his eyes.

So I’m just sitting there, minding my own business, doodling away in a meeting, when THIS guy jumps out of my pen!

Having fun doing stipple work on a book cover commission. I love the way stippled images tighten up when reduced. But I’m a geek that way.

Dug out my old portfolio the other day, and-lo and behold– there were some freakish doodles in there. Imagine that! Hey, I’m just as shocked as you.
Anyway, I may post a few more of the tastier brain nuggets in the near future. I think they will serve to show that I’ve been caught in this doodle whirlpool for quite sometime.
That, and the therapy just ain’t working…..

A good Sanford Uni-ball Onyx Fine-Point pen gave its life for this doodle. Let us all pause for a moment of silent reflection……

I was perusing the ‘net for facial expression reference pics, seeking inspiration for a work project I’m doing, when I came across the photo that inspired the above doodle. He ain’t pretty, but he’s definitely interesting, which is a heckuvalot better in my book.
And–since I found him interesting–I, of course, did what anyone would have done in that situation. I stippled the daylights out of him.

He could be experiencing cardiac arrest. He could be suffering from severe indigestion. He could be in the throes of a major panic attack.
Then again, he might just be trying to show what a manly man he is by grabbing big honkin’ handfuls of chest hair through his sweatshirt and yanking at ’em like there’s no tomorrow!
I couldn’t do that, though, and I know this from experience. All it took was one little through-the-shirt tug from my two-year-old daughter as she tried to scale “Daddy Mountain” to make my eyeballs shoot out of their sockets like bloodshot tether balls and leave me in a quivering, fetal-position heap for about five minutes.
What can I say….I’m a wimp.
