Every Doodle Matters #9

"An organized chaos" or in other words, 100 challenges -or so- in one go. But people who love logical games -as me- could say that one of the missing challenges is just #9 since it's self-referential an then not included itself in the drawing. If this could be right then the title would be wrong so I could entitle it EDM #42 "something you are thankful for" (it's was a great day when I found this group), or EDM #61 "a group of 2 or more similar objects (what about 100 or so EDM Challenges?), or EDM #71 "something representing your favorite sport" (I used to love cricket, curling, petanque and extreme ironing, but EDM'ing is much better, even if not so calorie burning). Of course, there's so much inspiration I owe Andrea. Thank you!

  10. Wow, and I thought I usually put lots of things in my art pieces! This is a nice totally filled art piece, the tree huggers here in California would be proud of you for using every little bit of space on your paper!!! I would like to enquire about the medium you used for color...What did you use to get such awesome color???? Please what is your secret?

  13. This is a wonder-full piece. You could also consider it-in an oblique way-EDM challenge #56: "Self Portrait",in so far as your style is so characteristically 'you'.
    Needless to say, I enjoy all your work.

  17. Thank you all for your comments!
    Suzanne: I made this with a 0.1 Faber Castell Ecco Pigment for the line, the color was added with Stabilo fibre pens and Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens (brush tipped). THe white wasa made with a Pilot G-1
    Wendy: it took about two weeks just while "listening" TV, so about 12 hours. The size is 15x 24 cm so about 6x9,5 inches.

  24. FANTASTIC! I absolutely love this, such character to every piece. Love the fountain pen and the old tap - and the ants, of course...

    It's so much fun to see what items are in someone else's life, it's almost voyeuristic.
