Hello, my name is Jim Bradshaw, and I am a doodle addict.

I am very inspired by your bird houses and your other art. I love your design sense and colors.

I've been hanging with Shane on Flickr for over a year now. He is a doodling mad man.

This looks like so much fun. I would love to see the finish.

I'm a big fan of Martin's work. Very inspirational.

Yes. That hand drawn feel is throughout his work. And yes, it feels like it all has the spontaneity of a well crafted doodle.

I like the way you are thinking, Uberkraaft.

What a cool idea! I like the way y'all think.

Just spent too much time grazing through the Flickr site. Thanks for the post uberkraaft.

Great find Jamie. I am feeling the need to be more spontaneous now. Can't wait to get off work and start chucking stuff on paper.

I couldn't agree with all the above more. Having passion means you have something to live for and sometimes so much that you have something worth dying for. Who wants to be without that? The intensity can be wearing but I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Looks great. It was a fun and great idea. Kicking myself for letting busyness and business get in the way of participating.

Happy New Year, DA. This site fun, inspirational, and fortified with 12 essential vitamins. Thank you guys for making it such a great place to hang at.

For the kid in all of us, thanks, you guys!

and THAT is what a sketchbook needs to look like. I LOVE IT!!!

I'm a huge fan of b&w art and photography too. Love the post, OKAT.

This has my wife's name written all over it. Well, actually, it has a great doodle written all over it. Awesome shirt!

Very expressive stuff.

such a free flowing visual feast. thank you dana.

Oh man! Thanks for the warm welcome and warm comments. I look forward to contributing here amongst the doodle lovers.

What? A tattoo of my art? How cool! I would love to see how that turned out, Terry. And which piece you chose.

Dana - you did such a great job last month. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Maura - You deserve it. We are kindred procrastinators too. LOL. But it will be sweet when we get it together.

Terry - oh fun! My email is spaceheadjim@yahoo.com

Maura - thanks friend. [@__@]/

looks like a good time.

Poetic is a very good word to describe Kumi's art. I like that. It would be fun to learn etching some day.

I'm so excited that you guys are enjoying Maura's work.

Diana: I didn't realize it was Diana Koene at first. Good to see you here too. I have always enjoyed your crazy people doodles. I was going to feature you until I saw that Jamie beat me to it.

The minimal line and color says a lot. I agree that her style implies a quiet spirit.

Yay! Cool stuff. I love zines, especially free ones. Thanks Okat.

tyler and uberkraaft - thanks you guys. •__•

Your welcome. I'm glad you guys like. •__•

Now those are some fun moleskine pages.

Yeah Okat, same thing happily happened to me. Your right Maura about the Coberesqueness (new word). I was a huge Cober fan back in the 80s. Now I'm off to go revisit his stuff. Wonderful line work and subject matter!

LOL! Yeah my brain spilled out for sure. It wasn't pretty. There's nothing like an unwieldy deadline to sharpen the senses and push me beyond my expectations. I'm not really a comic artist so this was kind of new ground. I am so excited for all the stretchy learning stuff that went down on this project. Thanks for letting me share.

Oh man! This makes me want to get out my inks, dyes, and watercolors. Beautiful stuff.

LOL. Nothin' has a plan-a, like a big ripe banana. And now I need a yarn version of a slice of pepperoni. Funny stuff.

Thanks Maura and Jay. Yeah, without that deadline dilemma, I was going nowhere fast. I'm not used to a writing assignment like that. The dilemma became the premise and it wouldn't have worked out any other way. I had to bleed to succeed. Hahaa. Life is funny sometimes.

^__^

...and I know by your Flickr that you dig chickens, Ines. ;)

Just read this for the first time. I'm deeply jealous of your day job and equally inspired. Nice collab action fellas.
