Gigantor Doodle Board!

Just posting a little progress picture of my Gigantor Doodle Board. This project has become really a fun one! We were given this to do as part of The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design, Module 2 course, and at first I was terrified. I procrastinate, for the most part, when working on large surfaces. I never was comfortable painting on a large canvas, that giant, blank, white square or rectangle kind of frightened me, lol!

This piece is on a 20x30 inch illustration board, done with Sharpie markers! I used a few Zentangle patterns that I found on the 'net, but 95% are my own doodles, flowers, and stuff that flows out of my head. I used to do count-cross-stitch, crocheting, knitting, embroidery, and I find that it brings exactly the same relaxing quality when I work on it.

If you want to Pinterest any of my artwork or photography, please attach a link to this blog and give me credit. If you don't, I will find you and hurt you ;)

My Gigantor Doodle Project

I'm starting a new module (2) of "The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design". A very unusual project was given out that we will be working on for the entire 5 weeks. We have to tack a giant piece of paper or board to the wall, and simply doodle on it for the next month. Kind of like a "walk by doodle-fest". At first I thought it would be a blast, then I sat there last night staring at this giant, blank, white board, with Sharpie in hand. I switched my internet music stream a few times to find SOMETHING to get me going, and I settled on Mozart. More specifically, "Mozart for your Mind".

I'll be posting progress pictures here as I go along.
