Been taking lots of pics recently during my morning walks, then I’d then add abit of life to the shot via Instagram editing, and wallah, we have a PINSta Doodle! It’s about capturing the environment around you and adding your flava to it – been seeing plastic gloves everywhere, so thought i’d smash out some colourful sorts – definitely makes your ‘average walk’ not so average each time you roll out, as you’ll end up constantly looking more intently and seeking the visual IQ in things – have a go yourself…LOOK / SNAP / EDIT BLAM!…
So over the past two months or so i’ve had the crazy urge to sketch moments as oppose to taking pictures, although I still actively do that too, it’s just being able to sketch anywhere there and then, biro to hand, sketchbook ready, feels super organic and totally in flow with my whole vibe of connecting and engaging through my art…plus as my normal canvas work is a tad more polished and controlled, sketching allowed me to free up a bit and get a bit more loose with it.…
Recently got invited as a guest artist by Savile Row tailors, The Hidalgo Brothers, to doodle onto silk hankies for their guests at the Christams Celebrations event, which was nice…
Not only did I find drawing onto silk hankies super flowetic (i.e. the ink of the pen sat nice on the fabric creating a nice flow when drawing), but the doodle action managed to bring out the kid in most of the folks present, an element which I always find interesting when I do these kind of events…the power of the doodle is strong!…
Introducing the Doodlebox…a box with doodles on it, something which I started doing a while back on packaging boxes and thought why not just order in some fresh white ones and take it to that next level…
So every morning during the last two months or so, instead of blasting out my doodles on paper as I normally do, I went donuts on the boxes, one a day, unleashing my inner shiz Molotow in hand…
Box after box, the collection grew, each unique in design and randomness, reflecting my mood / thoughts from that particular morning…
…completing the last box here…
Get your 1 of 1 Doodlebox HERE, which comes with a free goody pack, cos I’m nice like that 🙂
