Doodle of the Day for January 30, 2009

Last night I went to Chop­stix, a duel­ing piano bar in Seat­tle with my wife and some friends. I ordered the Mai Tai and it was pretty good, not great, but it’s not really a Tiki bar, so I can’t judge them too harshly on that point. The pianists were great, lots of fun, even if they only played one of my requests. (Movin’ on Up from the old tele­vi­sion pro­gram The Jef­fer­sons).

It’s a good place to have fun, but not really to have a con­ver­sa­tion, so I wasn’t able to chat with my friends as much as I’d have liked. Between the moments of shout­ing con­ver­sa­tions about Cory Doctorow’s lat­est book, my friend Russ and I started play­ing “doo­dle improv”. That’s where one per­son draws a line or two, then the next per­son draws a line and it builds until you have a com­pleted doo­dle. In this case, a lit­tle fel­low drink­ing a Mai Tai, com­pleted on the back of a song request sheet. I highly rec­om­mend doo­dle improvs, Mai Tai’s and of course The Jeffersons.

Doodle of the Day for January 27, 2009

Over 200 years ago (actu­ally he was born on Jan­u­ary 19th, 1809) the great Edgar Allen Poe was born and Lit­er­a­ture has nev­er­more been the same. My doo­dle today was goof­ing around in illus­tra­tor & pho­to­shop while lis­ten­ing to an audio book of his stories.

I remem­ber being riv­eted to the fan­tas­tic story, Masque of the Red Death when my class read it in 8th grade. To this day, I still find it a great read, a great exam­i­na­tion of futil­ity of life in the face of death. The writ­ing is so vibrant, you can feel being in the Prince Prospero’s doomed hall. If you haven’t read it, check it out here.

The bird and tree tex­ture behind Mr. Poe is from the great tex­ture site LostandTaken.com run by Caleb Kim­brough. Check his site for great tex­tures and inspiration.
