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.

Following up on yesterday’s Edgar Allen Poe, an illustrator/photoshop doodle of another master of the macabre H.P. Lovecraft
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.
