Disturbing Doodle Art

I just kinda let myself doodle and fill in areas of the paper until I've got a full picture.  This one started at the top and finished with the house and smoke towards the bottom.  I wasn't trying to create anything, but just filling in the blank spaces.  After not looking at the drawing for a day, when I look back at it, I'm seeing a very disturbing story.  Yuck.

Meeting Pen Doodle

This doodle that I almost finished during a (super-extended feeling) meeting reminds me of my time working in printmaking.  I used to really enjoy it, but it requires more equipment and space than I've got.  I guess I could rent space in a local studio.  Hmm...  Maybe I'll look into it.  Do some linocuts and maybe intaglio.  Hmm...

At least I could show you what I'm mumbling about next time I don't have any current work and put up some of my old prints.

Squid Meeting Doodle

I've been busy with work and/or slackin' (maybe because of work), so I haven't been too busy with this-here sketchbook.  Here's something I did in a meeting a week ago, but somehow couldn't get onto my computer for cropping and erasing of meeting notes until now.  If you look closely, you can still catch a typed out number "5" in the bottom left corner of the scribble.  There ought to be some interesting doodles coming from me in the next six weeks, along with a finished painting or two (if I can make some time).

From a Book of Adventure Motorcycle Tours

This drawing is taken from a photo from Colette Coleman's book, Planet Earth's Greatest Motorcycle Adventure Tours.  It's got some nice photos and is available from Amazon for $12.00.

Anyhow, I'm looking at my drawing an cringing.  That back wheel is so hopped up.  That's just the most glaring issue I've got with this sketch.  Oh well...  I guess this is what this sketchbook-blog is all about.  I'm forcing myself to put out work on a weekly basis and will post work that I love along with work that I feel is just a rough start.

Cafe Racer Painting Draft

 

Here's the rough outline of a painting I've started for my friend, Carl.  It's taken from an old photo of his father on a cafe racer, somewhere in England.  In the next couple of weeks I should be posting a finished version.
