the actual presentation...

the actual presentation...

i know, it's like you were actually there.

i thought i'd share what i was looking at for the best part of two days !

some kind of giant dinosaur monster attack!

some kind of giant dinosaur monster attack !

not all that impressed by this doodle, to be honest; but i did manage to avoid the usual themes (see previous post); and i do like the odd face in the top left-hand-side of the page...





this face looks quite interesting to me, like a greek mask of tragedy, masquerading (no pun intended) as the sun in the corner of the sky.

still not very successful...

still not very successful at avoiding the usual themes - true we may have a pairing of giant and mini aliens that we've never seen before; but we also have some rocket-packing spacemen who look very much like the guys we've seen spacewalking in the past

... and, of course, there's still a dirty great space rocket at the bottom of the doodle !

i guess the problem is that when i doodle it's a relatively subconscious act for me, so i would normally have no active thought process as i'm doodling.

so if i start to thing 'i don't want to doodle this or that' then i enevitably start thinking about what i should doodle instead; and then it all gets a little contrived.

ah well, i sit through the same presentation again tomorrow; lets see what we get then, eh "?

not very successful...

not very successful at my stated aim of avoiding the old favourites - here we see rocket ships, aliens planets, and even some little tentacles.

maybe my next one will be a little more unique ?

a driller-robot superhero battle

a driller-robot superhero battle was underway during the early stages of yesterday's first meeting.

by this point i gather that people sitting behind me in the lecture theatre were paying a little more attention to my doodles than i had realised.

at the end of this meeting i decided that i'd try to avoid my old staples of robots, tentacles, superheroes and rocket ships.

watch this space to see how successful i was at this goal...

an octopus in specs

an octopus in specs, would you believe it ?

i suppose that it wouldn't take much imagination to decide that the octopus is me, and that i'm obviously feeling that i have 'a lot on' at the moment.

this, and the next few doodles to appear have all been the results of a series of three two-hour lectures that i was required to attend.

a spaceship departure

a spaceship departure

presumably this is me wishing for some way, ANY way, to escape this dull meeting.

it was brief though... but still dull.

witness the attack of the giant silhouettes...

witness the attack of the giant silhouettes, as they victimize some normal-sized people.

aaaawww, feeling oppressed and overwhelmed on this meeting, where we, mr.doodler ?

don't let go!

don't let go!

it's simply your classic 'person hanging from a cliff face over a flaming pit'-type doodle.

pulled-out all of the stops here, to get back to my past life as a 'proper' artist, i used pencil !
