Doodling is a Universal Art Form

Doodling is a universal art form. Anyone who can hold a pencil has doodled something at some point in their lives. However, some are taking doodling to new heights, elevating it as a legitimate art form. For example, a group of Filipino graphic artists promote their creativity through doodling. This art form takes hold as creative decor for restaurants, galleries and office spaces.



If you are interested in doodling as an art form, check out my friend Gretchen Little's site at Squidoo, Doodle Art.

Cinco de Mayo Voodoodle

Yes, even Voodoo dolls love to party!

Three New Voodoo Squidoodles

This Voodoo Squiddoodle was created for my new lens Voodoo Squidoodles at Squidoo by Gretchen Little. I knew she would do a great job incorporating one of her fabulous hearts with the squid, and I can't wait to put him on the lens Thanks Gretchen!



Here is the same squiddoodle. This time the Oshun's ritual symbol is on the heart. Now it is officially a Voodoo Squiddoodle.



This guy is my new Voodoo Squiddoodle, swimming with La Baleine, who is the Mother of the Waters. My, he looks like a huge phallic symbol, doesn't he?

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep - Voodoodle #6

After drawing this little voodoo poppet guy in Photoshop, he looks so cuddly I think I have to make one. I took a photograph from an old cemetary that is near my home and decided to lay the doll on top of the grave. I added a mojo hand, aka mojo bag or gris gris bag. It contains items to bring the dead peace and happiness in the afterlife. This is officially Voodoodle #6.

I realized after placing the number 6 on the heart of this Voodoo poppet, that perhaps this was an subconscious tribute to the family of 6 who were recent murder suicide victims and lived in a nearby town.

May they rest in peace!
