\t\t\t\tI’m a doodler.<\/p>\n

I doodle when talking on the phone, in meetings, on the back of my train ticket, on till receipts, and curiously once on my knee during a 5 hour bus journey in Peru which didn’t wash off for ages, and I’m sure was the reason airport staff searched me on my way back through Houston…<\/p>\n

Indeed – I’m not sure what it is, but when there is a piece of paper in front of me and a pen in my hand, a world of opportunity presents itself and I can show no restraint in wanting to fill the blank surface.<\/p>\n

I came across this article (http:\/\/drawsketch.about.com\/cs\/tipsandideas\/a\/doodle.htm<\/a>) today and apparently doodling can reveal a lot about what a person is thinking and feeling – a sort of exhibition of your subconscious trying to make itself heard.<\/p>\n

Recently I stepped up in the doodling world and one of my scribbles has been included on the top of an official planning document – a small attempt on the Council’s part at making this excessively dry information a little more visually appealing to the public. Today we had a meeting to discuss this very document, and with a copy sitting in front of me I (of course) started to doodle.<\/p>\n

In respect of my last post, I think the random additions I made to my ‘official’ doodle (which is meant to represent Wokingham – the place where I work) says it all of how I am feeling in my job at the moment, so the psychology there\u00a0doesn’t really bother me too \u00a0much…<\/p>\n

What does worry me however, is that yesterday I drew a geriatric chicken wearing flip flops….<\/p>\n
