Today is the 1-year anniversary of the Doodle Day Facebook Group. It is a group of people of all artistic abilities & ages that just love to doodle! There is a daily prompt, that you can follow if you wish, or, you can just share what you've been working on. It was started by a wonderfully talented artist, Alison, & her young daughter Erin, and over the year they've watched the group grow to over 200 enthusiastic & creative people!

I discovered Doodle Day back in December, when the theme for the month was "underwater alphabet." I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST creating various sea creatures each day, & it was something fun to take my mind off the stress of the holidays. Here are a couple of my favorites from that time.

Lately, I've been caught up in my children's book project, with a deadline looming, so I haven't been able to participate as often as I'd like. But I still visit the Facebook page every day to check out what the group members have been up to! Always eye candy to look at!! And they are always so supportive when I AM able to post something!!

So because I discovered Doodle Day in December during the underwater alphabet theme, I thought an underwater tribute was appropriate! I had a lot of fun playing with my new Copic markers on a pad of OLD marker paper from college that I discovered during a visit to my parents' basement to create my artistic octopus! I honestly have not used marker paper since 1993!!! In fact, I had so much fun, that I'm thinking I need to make a trip to Dick Blick & pick up some more! (Do they still make it?! LOL!!)
Anyway, I'd like to extend a BIG THANK YOU to Alison & Erin, & a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Doodle Day! I hope you have many more!!!
Totally ADORABLE! Just love your work :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annie!!!!
DeleteI love these kind of internet art groups with lots of participants of many skill levels. Many have started, and some have ended, since I started blogging a couple years ago. It's always nice to hear about new groups (though I don't have time for more. Eeek!)
ReplyDeleteThe octopus is SO CUTE. I love his paint supplies, and his little green friend. They do sell marker paper still! But I don't love it. At least the kind I have seen is very thin, and I tend to do a lot of layers with Copics. But everyone has their own way!
Thanks, Cindy! Yes, I've found some great groups, but my art time is so limited, I feel guilty I am not able to participate more!
DeleteThat is great that you've had so much fun with that facebook group. Doodle on Mit!
ReplyDeleteThat crab is my kinda grump. ha.
ReplyDeleteYour octopus looks very happy being creative
ReplyDeleteHi Mit, I've been meaning to come by for ages. Looks like you are busy with another book project ... can't wait to see what it is ... I loved the Sneaker. I hope it's going well for you. The purple jellyfish makes me laugh - and believe it or not, a purple jellyfish washed up on an eastern Australian beach last week that had never been seen in this country before - possibly a new species! Coincidence? I think not.
