Okat... the Netflix envelopes! Great idea! They never change. It's so routine to slap a movie in one and mail it back. I think I'll spice things up a bit on the next few I return.
I use legal pads at work all the time. I've gotten a reputation for doodling during meetings... even had a boss tell me he would "kill" me if I ever doodled in one of his meetings again. I'm in the process of developing a site called cubedoodles.com - a place for people to upload work doodles.
I absolutely agree! I've been told the same thing about "feeling" too much and too deeply. But I don't know how else to be. I wouldn't want to be any other way. If I didn't feel, I wouldn't have reasons to be creative, and then... what's the point of existing??
I love black and white doodles. Most of what I doodle tends to be black and white. Give me a Uni-Ball pen and a Moleskine and I am set. Just leave a little food and water by my door now and then.
