... i made a doodle

... yeah. that's right. i said it. i doodled. allllll over the place too. (giggle) i can't remember a time when i didn't pick up anything i could write with and draw, scribble, scrawl, make stars, planets, army men, explosions, or anything i could think of at the time. it always helped me deal with keeping focus, although many would say it was a method to focus my attention on something other than what i was supposed to be focused on.

some people are just wired differently. i've always had a helluva time staying centered, focused or 100% ON anything. A.D.D., never had that tested all the say through... hyperactive as a kid?, not really... but i do know that doodling was an outlet i learned to help me communicate my moods, feelings and it was very theraputic for me through tough times in my life.

my sketches and doodles have become less and less a norm as i grow older. spurts of creativity lend themselves to pages of useless visual babbling... a lot of nothing going nowhere... but occasionaly at the very least i can come up with either a fun collage like above from over 15 scanned sketches. thankfully, some of these actually made it to final products like here and here.
