Zeptonn creates fun little worlds that look great on anything. On walls, windows, bottles, boots, magazine covers and a whole lot more. I like how he fills the space (any space) with his intertwining fun.

You know the kind of 'in' jokes you have with your best mates... the kind that never loose their charm, and are always a sure-fire path to hysterics and a tummy stitch?

That's how I feel when I browse through [SIRIN.THADA]'s witty doodles! I get all giggly at his silly visual puns! It's a goofy humor that him and I share!

If you'd like to be 'in' on the joke, take a peek for yourself!

I was recently contacted by The Art Bureau to do 10 pages in a zine/book featuring 10 other artists and myself. I excitedly accepted only to seize up in the idea stage for 3 straight weekends as life got in the way and the evil deadline came hurling toward me. Since I work full-time, those 3 weekends were much needed for my mental stability. This moment of insanity became the premise of my submission. Below are some teaser shots of the work which goes to press on March 7 and lands in my hands at a time to be decided by fate. I will announce this on my blog when it releases.

I posted about Wendy MacNaughton back in May 2009 and now I am back to tell you she's just launched a new site for her art. What makes Wendy's work so captivating is that it's almost always created while commuting from one place to another. She's lived in LA, NY, Amsterdam, Paris, East Africa and San Francisco.

Discover the people, places and things she's met along the way at her new site that's filled with ink and watercolor. ]]> http://www.doodlersanonymous.com/entry.php?entryID=1515 Mar 1, 2010 10:35 AM Bradshaw http://www.doodlersanonymous.com/entry.php?entryID=1515

I bought a book by Sabrina Ward Harrison titled "Spilling Open" a few years back. It transformed my approach to art. The book is, I believe, the first of a few of her published art journals. It is filled with loose, colorful, scribbles, doodles, paint strokes, hand lettering, photos, found objects and more all collaged together, forming very striking, energetic eye candy. More than pretty pictures, she bares her soul on every page with brutal honesty. Freeing inspiration spills out of her. Sometimes it is driven by triumph and other times, painful insecurity. Either way, the result is a more beautiful world. I highly respect her bravery as well as her talent.

Tommy Eugene Higson is an artist, curator, writer, designer and co-founder of Cheap Zine with Nikki Marie Jackson. I got stuck in his flickr photostream because his style slightly reminds me of my own work: ink on paper of quirky faces and poses, almost badly drawn on purpose.

That is exactly what I love so much about it. When it comes to drawing, perfection has never really been my thing and the exaggerated features and off proportions of his work make each drawing incredibly intriguing and memorable. Enjoy, like I do.

Our good friends Josh and Colby, otherwise known as illustration team Jolby, are putting on a show of new works with photographer Ashley Forette at Together Gallery in Portland, Oregon. Opening reception is tomorrow night (February 25th), but the show is scheduled until March 20th and will explore the legends, mythology, and superstitions held by sailors of the 1800's through a mix of illustration and photography.

If you live anywhere near the City of Roses, get your butt over to the show. Above is a teaser of what you can expect and you could always take another glance of our feature on Jolby, which documented a week in their life. ]]> http://www.doodlersanonymous.com/entry.php?entryID=1508 Feb 24, 2010 11:45 AM Bradshaw http://www.doodlersanonymous.com/entry.php?entryID=1508

Okay, if you don't smile when you look at Willem Lagerwaard's stuff, you better go to the doctor and get your smiley glands checked out. There is something so refreshingly innocent and heart warming about his characters and little scenes. I'm guessing he is in the children's market. Just a wild hunch. ]]> http://www.doodlersanonymous.com/entry.php?entryID=1510 Feb 23, 2010 12:30 PM Jamie http://www.doodlersanonymous.com/entry.php?entryID=1510

We are in love with Sam Pierpoint's doodled shoes and it is obvious that you guys are, too. After reviewing your submissions, we have finally picked a winner.

Congratulations are in order to Beatriz Morales Ramos, for doodling on a paper dress. Thank you for your efforts. It definitely made us smile. You now have the perfect shoes to go with your dress. Sam's only request is that you now photograph yourself sporting the dress and shoes on together.

Thank you to all the participants, for your creativity and your strange imaginations.

I was at OPPY's "Scribble Project", checking out the train car doodles when I saw Baysan Yuksel's submission. Shortly after, I decided to head over to her site and I'm so glad I did. This artist from Istanbul has a very spontaneous, fun, cut and paste, doodle style.

Two completely different styles all under one roof. Get some love from Pete and Jo, whose website simply states: We are married and also we are illustrators! ]]> http://www.doodlersanonymous.com/entry.php?entryID=1509 Feb 18, 2010 10:48 AM Bradshaw http://www.doodlersanonymous.com/entry.php?entryID=1509

I first discovered Tim Tomkinson in the "Fresh" section of Communication Arts magazine in 2005. It sounds like he pretty much went from Parsons, where he studied illustration to shortly after signing with an agent and going into illustration full-time. He is that good. If you want to see more of his work in print, Tim recently had a book of his sketches published called "The {Sketch}book vol. 01". It features 144 pages of his skilled sketchiness.

The moleskine pages from Maykel Nunes are consumed with doodles from corner to corner. The ink literally bleeds to the end of each spread and the content completely differs on every page turn.

The presentation of the work is simply wonderful too, as the context of each photo; from coffee beans to playing cards, make for great backdrops. Well done Maykel.

You know the phrase, "the work should speak for itself" - well, I think it was intended for Sam Pierpoint.

If you are not familiar with her illustrations and intricate 3-D worlds, you can reacquaint yourself here. Now for the bonus, the endless exclamation points, the frosting on the cake: Sam is giving away a pair of custom-doodled high heels here on Doodlers Anonymous. Not only did she deliver something incredible, but she delivered in only a matter of days.

When I received the photos of the shoes, I asked her if we could skip the giveaway all together so I could keep them for myself. It was a fail on my part.

So to win these shoes, you're going to have to work a little harder, but in a fun way. Tell us why you want them. Whatever your reason is; doodle it on your hand, photograph it, and share it with us. Most importantly, have fun.

Send us your photo by email (editor AT doodlersanonymous DOT com) by Tuesday February 16th at 4pm EST. We, along with Sam, will pick the person who makes us look twice.

Thank you all so much for the giveaway submissions. We received 15 body doodles and will pick a winner this week. Stay tuned.









We look forward to your submissions and lots of delicious hand doodles.

I am drawn to art with passion. That is what grabs me about the illustrations of Tim Marrs. He transports us to an urban world that in many ways is full of chaos, brokenness and turbulence yet it is filled with rich layers of texture, color, and beauty. Tim's collage style is a turbulent mix of photos, sketches, doodles, hand lettering, graffiti, and paint strokes. What at first looks like chaos and disorder is really thoughtful, eye catching, well crafted design. I'm not sure if he would see himself as a doodler, but I love the way he draws and how those little sketchy doodles and loose hand lettering work so well in his finals.

I found Croatian artist, Smiljana Coh while doing one of my favorite online things, link surfing on illustrator's sites I love. I am such a fan of pencil. Personally, I still haven't found a tool that I like to use as much. Smiljana uses her pencils with a wonderful childlike spontaneity that just brings joy to my eyes.

If I had to guess, I would say that Christina Vantzou is a thoughtful person, with a gentleness that exudes from her. I don't know her personally but that is the exact feeling I get when I look at her work. Simple. Delicate. Luscious.

Kumi Obata's art appeals to me the way a beautifully crafted sketch does. Her etchings are a perfect balancing act between drawn doodle looseness and sophisticated, refined art. Rich in texture, line, and pattern, her work is no doubt influenced by the quiet beauty and tradition of her home country, Japan. The first day I happened onto her site, I felt like I was transported into someone else's dream and floated around from one beautiful scene to the next, not wanting to leave. A year and a half later, I still feel the same.

She started with a Strathmore pocket sketchbook, spiralbound hardback. Continued on a Moleskine Cahier Plain Journal, softback. Finally settled on a Moleskine Notebook Plain Sketchbook, hardback. Whatever it is, Elaine draws out her daily life in the pages of these books. She fills the pages with lists, her objectives, thrift shop price stickers, quotes and everything in between. I got lost in her doodles simply because they are unpretentious and sincere.
