incognito Posted May 16, 2009 paradox are ur pics like freehand doodles?? or have u sat down with an idea on what you want to achieve? i like the idea of just letting ur creativity take over with a pencil and see where it goes. ive always liked looking at peoples doodles(in all seriousness ) it always spins me out what i can and will draw when im nattering away on the phone,and u see some really cool stuff on public telephone books, message pads and the like in peoples places, offices etc.its a fascinating phenomena. ive never really sat down and doodled, but for some reason im gonna give it ago, thanks for the inspiration!! ill put a pic up if i can manage anything decent!!
