His drawings are not cute, they're not even friendly. They are ugly, damn ugly, and yet I love every single one of them.

Murray Somerville makes ugly beautiful.

He's drawn for zines, comics, posters, t-shirts, exhibitions, windows, walls and plenty more. If you like exploding melon heads, ugly teeth, monstrous hands, and creatures with multiple eyes, then you should definitely follow all of his nonsense and weird imaginings over at his website or blog. It will kinda creep you out, but that's a good thing.

Wilmer lives a doodled life, one filled with fun characters, bright colors, scribbled lines and rough textures. He makes a living with strong graphic design and illustration work, but it's his spontaneously drawn stuff I love most, especially when the art lands on shoes, t-shirts, laundry detergent caps, hats and concrete walls.

Here's a trash bin like you've never seen, drawn by Jacob Livengood for Coachella 2011. He's turned the overworked and under-appreciated trash bin into absolute gorgeousness, with thousands upon thousands of colored marks and dots that adorn all 365 degrees of the container. Ha! Anyone else want to march down to city hall to turn all our public trash cans into works of art?

Welcome to DA Jacob!

Looking through Laura's flickr pages, I get the feeling that she's having tons of fun just doodling away. Her drawings seem genuine and impromptu, and that's such a relief, in contrast to the hesitation and contrived efforts so many of us face when staring at a blank sketchbook page.

Mariana Abasolo is a fellow Brazilian and quite the avid doodler. Two major points for that! The use of black and white versus color in her drawings, combined, are the perfect mix. They are simple and a little wacky, just the way I like 'em. Oh, and she's already a member of DA! Three points! She's on a role today.

The talent in our community never ceases to impress me, and as the pool of members grow, so do their variety of medium.

That leads me to the discovery of Benjamin Murphy, who likes to draw directly onto walls with electrical tape as his ink. Yes, that's right, sticky, sticky, black tape and he's pretty damn good at it too. You can find Benjamin in the U.K. or at his blog, ALL DESTRUCTO.

Droog79 is the alter-ego of salty-faced Ed Milsom, who spews “brain ink over scarce supplies of paper” when he’s not falling off waves in southern Mexico.

Alluring work that captures the patterned chaos of the sea. Check out
his doodles and tshirt art on his flickr feed and blog. Righteous.
