Bi-weekly?

Seems I'm down to bi-weekly doodles at best. Need to figure out a new schedule for myself to allow for job/ job homework/ cleaning apartment/ exercise time/ boyfriend time/ me time(doodle time). NOT EASY!

Found Some Me Time!

Me time makes me happy.

No Time to Doodle?

Been so busy with work that I've literally had no time to myself. Tried to make some quiet time, and saw that my doodles were reflecting my neglect to them. Here's to trying to make more ME time!

Stuff I've been up to since getting my Christmas book from boyfriend

I've become a little obsessed. Any spare moment has become a "I NEED TO SCRIBBLE IN MY LITTLE BOOK!" moment. Waiting for the streetcar. Waiting for the autoclave to finish its cycle, waiting for food to come at the restaurant... Basically, any waiting for something time has become doodle time.
It's interesting, because strangely, my phone has had much longer battery life since the doodles started. Hmmm... coincidence? On the bad side, though, I've had to start carrying around larger purses because of my "doodle pouch", which contains my pens and pencils, pattern book and little doodle book. It's like a security blanket I can't be without now.
Maybe it will pass, maybe it won't, maybe it will become slightly less obsessive. I'm enjoying the extra bit of battery life on my phone at any rate!
Lots of images, I think I'll share them as one post. Thanks for looking!

Christmas!

So, best boyfriend evarr got me a present for Christmas- holy crap mind blown! The doodles I've been doing are ridiculously similar to this whole "zentangle" movement thing! Can't wait to check out a new take on what I've essentially been doing up the margains of my notebooks since the 7th grade! Lol

Critters!

Drawn for a client. I'm having a lot of fun experimenting with this bastardized Hawaiian/Polynesian style pattern approach to my drawings.

Been so busy getting ready for a trip to Calgary, that I forgot to post this. Kind of funny to look at, because I don't like airports so I was nervous about the trip. When I look at this doodle now, I see snow and mountains. I think my subconscious is sneaking into my conscious here...lol

Someone I care very little for was sending me rude text messages. Maybe that's why all the pointy things ended up in here?

First doodle! I'm going to really try to do these daily and see if it helps with my stress levels and ocd. All I know is that I feel pretty relaxed right now!

FIRST POST!

Step one accomplished! I have the handy, pocket-sized sketchbook. Now, to doodle in it.  But not now. It's 5am and I need to go to bed. Maybe tomorrow.
