Maybe there's something to be said for order, but not by me. I prefer unpredictability and play.

One of our favorite showcase challenges has gone from concept to creation—from doodle to wall decal. The graceful disorder of Camila León's illustration will surely ensnare you, as it has us. (We recently installed it at DA and loved it so much, we moved half the studio furniture around just to better showcase it.)

"Irregular Mesh" is as delicate as lace; but its color, a fierce and unapologetic fuchsia, is roguish and saucy. The abstract design and popping pink color is so sexy, it will make you blush. Apply to any wall (click to buy), and -- voila!-- instant verve and moxie.

It was neck and neck until the closing bell, and when the smoke cleared two submissions were left standing at an even 76 votes.

Unfortunately there can only be one winner and so the team and I were left to make the call. After endless debate, DA's editors have voted Nata Metlukh as the winner of the October Calendar Draw by a vote of 2 to 1.

Congratulations to all our participants! Your submissions were inspiring. Now go on and get ready to draw December, because for our final showcase the editor's at DA will make the final pick from the top three voted submissions.

Our calendar project is coming to an end. We have amazing invited artists on board and a slew of prior showcase winners. We're down to the wire, in the final stretch, wrapping it up... you get the idea. So if I can make a humble suggestion, you know, friend to friend: hurry the heck up! Get involved by following three simple steps:
(A) Doodle up the month of October 2012 (B) Submit your artwork (C) Pat yourself on the back and high five friends.

Seeing the calendar come together is so much fun, it feels wrong. Muahaha… I love it when a plan comes together!

P.S. For those of you new to DA, welcome! You can learn more about the calendar and how to participate here.

We just got lost in a wonderful hour of cutting, rubbing, rolling, and pulling. How we love the tactile and tangible goodness of a hands-on project: the materials, the planning, the process. What fun to focus on something beautiful and immediate. Instant gratification.

The Trip by Michelle Lasalvia is stunning. The web honestly does it no justice. It has been an instant conversation piece at DA’s studio. The colors are vibrant and the quality of the vinyl and packaging exceeded all expectations. You will be enamored, but you’ll also be out of luck if you wait too long. Stock is limited, very limited (click to buy).

Post this beautiful decal on your wall like a ribbon around your finger—a reminder to travel, an inspiration to get out there.

It's almost June and that means we're that much closer to summer - the blistering heat, the humid beach breeze, the happy energy that the season brings... It's definitely something to draw about. Many of you have participated in the previous Calendar Draw Challenges. Here's another chance!

Submit a drawing for your chance to be our featured artist for the month of June. Make it good. Most of all, make it hot! (Oh, we love a good pun.)

Submissions are now open. Good luck!

Today is a good day, a really good day. We are beaming with pride and grinning from ear to ear. It’s the first time we have transformed our community’s showcase submissions into something tangible, breathing life into a concept. This is what Doodlers Anonymous is all about!

This past March, we collaborated with the fine folks at Blik. We challenged DA members to draw an original artwork for our studio wall, which would be turned into a wall decal for sale in limited release. The turnout floored us. Our jaws dropped as we received submission after submission, totaling 99 drawn walls!

We are excited to announce that the winning decals have been printed! They are vibrant and amazing and now available for purchase. So, show your fellow members some love, buy a decal and make your walls pretty with art. Your purchase will help support DA’s efforts, community, philosophy, and the doodling arts. A community that doodles together…

In what is one of the most exciting showcases to date, the April Calendar Draw ended in a tie between Súa Agapé and Kaya H -- both with a rousing 84 votes.

But there can only be one winner. So after endless debate, DA's editors have voted Kaya H as the winner of the April Calendar Draw showcase by a vote of 2 to 1.

Congratulations to all our participants! Your submissions were inspiring -- you've set the bar even higher for the upcoming June Calendar Draw. We can't wait and hope neither can you.
