In The Future...

Post-it Note Doodle of what awaits us in the future.  How awesome will it be to have ion-beam shooting robots?  (Unless they are evil ion-beam shooting robots; then that wouldn't be so good).

What is your future doodle?

Doodle Bomb

Nagel texted me this doodle.  I'm not sure what this bomb has in mind but his intentions don't seem virtuous (little does Mr. Doodle Bomb know, his fuse won't last the walk to my house)..

What doodle will you send a friend today?

Kessel Run In Less Than 12 Parsecs

I started doodling a TV and the first thing that came to mind (when wondering what should be "on TV") was the Millenium Falcon.

Probably because it is one bad-ass ship.

What would you doodle on your TV?

Pencil Surfing Skeletons

"Long live the sombrero that sits upon the Pencil-Surfing Skeleton who writes 'Awesome' in reverse!"

A doodle isn't about making 'sense', it is about letting the pen do what it will.  Have fun today with a doodle (and if all possible, doodle during an important meeting).

...With A Dragon On Top

2 Scoops Of Mint Chocolate Chip With A Dragon On Top

This was my doodle of the day...what is yours?

If you haven't doodled yet...what's keeping you?

Doodlers Unite!

In a recent post I discussed my propensity to doodle. Sunni Brown's short talk on TED is good reminder of the doodle's importance.

Doodle

I am a doodler.

I doodle in notebooks, in the margins of important documents, and during meetings to keep my mind from wandering farther than it has already traveled.

Doodling offers no rules or outlined plan for a measured result. There are no misplaced marks when doodling, only new lines of intrigue. Doodling is freeing; no critic, no profit-loss statement to be analyzed, and no expectation of "company growth".

Yet for some, doodling is paralyzing. "What should be drawn?" "What if it doesn't turn out right?" "What if no one likes it?" These questions should never be entertained in the doodle process. They are anti-doodle.

Doodling is about uninhibitedly exploring "new", simply "because". Doodling is about getting something on paper as it just might be enough to birth inspiration. Doodling is about releasing that which we have held captive for fear of not fitting in.

I need to doodle more. Our world needs to doodle more. It begins with you.

What will you doodle?
