Voodoodle #12

I can't seem to find the voodoodle I did yesterday, so I had to resort to this one as a backup. It is a graphic of a portion of the wall of Marie Laveau's tomb and my virtual graffiti.

The X practice, as it is often referred to, is considered desecration and thus illegal. Marking on any grave in any of the historic New Orleans cemeteries is subject to legal action. In no way is the X practice encouraged by this artwork.

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.

Voodoo Doll Baby

Here's the latest Voodoodle in the Voodoo-Doll-a-Day series. She's a Voodoo doll baby, one of several who will be part of my Voodoo doll tree I am working on.

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!
