100% having fun.
As a needed retreat, I picked up So, You Like to Doodle book and began to, well, doodle. This is the build a robot page. Notice I drew Emma Lou in the background, of course. It is far from being high art, but I did find doodling extremely freeing and relaxing.
I realized that my passion is to build things--I love creating that involves a project--vision to creation. Whether a website, a painting, or a book. My mind thinks in series and full projects. I don't see one card but a series of cards. Not one painting but a gallery exhibit. A full book, not one illustration. I am usually a little depressed if I am not working on some kind of project. My challenge is how to communicate this and this new focus on my new DF website. How to pull in more work that represents this love of building.

Even though it appears Emma Lou isn't sure about her, I think her flower is the perfect touch :)
Oh wonderful. Make one for me too. I will put it to good use. Dog Walking. Cat feeding. Bed making.
And last but not least.... helping me keep my studio neat and tidy!
I agree with you, the challenge of a full task, a whole book, a gallery of work and a well done and completed website are fantastic goals.
This is 100% fun!! Love the way your doodle robot turned out.
I like to build too but always worry I'm spreading myself too thin... I like your robot's face very much!
Designing Fairy, I have an award for you. Please Check my blog.
What a cute little doodle! It's fun to do that every once in a while to keep the juices flowing. Don't forget to think like a web copywriter (inverted pyramid, key phrases, ratio of text to code, no text in graphics, etc.) when you include your introductory paragraphs above the fold on your website... search engines and usability are your friends if you do that :) I work with several SEO experts and love to parrot everything they tell us to do for ROI on client's websites.
doodles are such a fun way to get the creative juices flowing! cute pic...
