Scribbly Scrawlings

Ive been a right busybee in my sketchbook this weekend....doodling, my favourite way to spend a Sunday in me slips :)

Ive been looking at the book 'Picturing and Poeting' by Alan Fletcher.
This book is amazing!
It turns word into pictures, finds poetry in rubbish, and discovers the unlikely in the commonplace. That's what it says on the front.

It also gives little helpful hints for succeeding in life, such as this:
" You are obliged to go off on a tangent if you want to stop going round in circles."
I like this quote, it chills me out to know that its OK to have a lot of tangents, because that is better than getting dizzy.

How I loves to write and scribble!  I tried out a few pens and put them on automatic and just started drawing out my brains. Writing is drawing is writing is drawing....

I made up some pictures of slippers from my scrawlings. I made some slippers out of writing 'Slippers are warm and comfy'

It looks like a page of just scribblys but I find it quite pleasing. The act of writing non stop in tune with your thinking is so freeing. Writing is the mind tracing out messages, thoughts and feelings.
You cant read the writing, you can only make out a few words. It looks busy and noisy which is an exact image of how the inside of my brains must look.

Writing is you, on a page.

These images below are made up of lots and lots of writing. Each comment is hand-written, one on top of the other. Although, metaphorically, they are all talking at once, the noisy result is an artistic comment in itself.


Today's squiggles and scribbles... 




Promotional poster idea for my traditional fountain pen,
write your worries away...




An illustration of my thought train....CHOO CHOO!


Also, Thanks for the slippers I've received so far, keep sending in your pics!

At the end of the day,
the end of the day
is at the end of the day.
