As I head towards DAY 400 of this incredible experience, I want to start expanding the horizons. I know there are a ton of very creative people out there, or people that know people who have at times picked up a pen and doodled. So now I need to seek you out. I would like to create a place on the Daily where I get to include the work of others.
Whether you doodle in meetings, at home, at school, wherever it doesn’t matter. Next week I will have deatils of the criteria to submit your work, but I am excited to see what others out there are doing. Like 1,000,000 giraffes, maybe I need to set a goal to get 1,ooo,ooo doodles. How cool would that be.
So if you are not yet following me Twitter yet, get cracking. Jump on the band wagon. Hit the bird to get started, following my TWEETS.
Start looking for your creative side, I want to see your doodles. For now here’s mine for today… Day 394.
This represnts how I am hoping to Grow the Daily.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, does that make it a duck?
You decide.
Here’s a quacking good duck doodle:
Quackers
Can you believe that they are still Thousands of homes still with out power. We are very lucky to have escaped it this time. Monday was a long day, it’s after 1:00 am right now, been working late. So this will be a quick entry. Hope you had a chance to check out the scribble project that I did. It was a nice surprise to see it posted.
Here’s Tuesday’s doodle:
The Beauty of Summer
Take a look at Lisa Currie’s “the Scribble Project “website today. The page I submitted a while back is the Scribble of the day.

We had a major storm yesterday afternoon, that brought trees down all around us. We we very lucky not to lose power, because there are close to 300,000 homes with out power last night. There is nothing worse when it is in the 90s to be powerless.
This storm came out of nowhere and was pretty scary at times. I guess that’s what we have to deal with in DC.
Here’s the doodle for Day 391.
It was another scorcher in DC yesterday over 100 degrees. Enough with this heat already.
Thought I’d take a break from the Tattoo doodles and go back to basics for a day or two (that’s because I need to work on a few new Celebrity Tattoo doodles) So for today, I have something plain and simple, yet still fresh.
Enjoy!
As they say in the classics or at least at every award show… It’s an honor just to be nominated. I didn’t come out on Top as the Best Blog in DC, but no one can take away that I was nominated as part of the Top 10. What an amazing honor. I appreciate all those who voted, I appreciate all those who have stopped by the blog to say hi, or view my work.
The Doodle Daily is not your typical “What’s on in DC Life” blog, but I try through the art of the doodle to show what might be happening in our City. So for that I was very happy to be included as one of the best.
I plan to keep the doodles going for a long time. Very soon I plane to invite you all to join in the fun. I will be starting to post guest doodlers on a regular basis. So get out your pens and start drawing so that I can include you all in this amazing journey.
Now it’s time for today’s doodle. Another in the series of “re-facings”
Later today we will know who won as the best blog in DC and win or lose this was a fun experience. Even just to be recognized as on of the Top 10 blogs in a city like Washington, DC is amazing. And to all of you who voted, I want to say a big thank you.
Before the voting closed, I took this snapshot of the “Poll”, so you can see who all was nominated:
It even mentions that blatant voter rigging, but all that aside, “The Doodle Daily” made the Top 10 (which was cut to the Top 9) and that is so special for “The little blog that could”
Now, back to today’s Tattoo doodle:
Aren’t these designs so special?
What an amazing day! First my blog gets nominated as one of the TOP 10 blogs in DC. Then we have a crazy day of voting (and I do want to thank all of you who logged on to vote) and lo and behold, some smart ass has to mess with the votes and get themselves and their blog eliminated.
The great thing is “The Doodle Daily” is still in the running, so now you all have to go out and vote once again. You have until 12:01 am on Friday morning to vote. So log on to WTOP, select “The doodle Daily” in the box that says “today’s poll” and vote, vote, vote. We can win this.
We know that everybody has doodled at sometime or other, be it in a meeting, on the phone, on a napkin or magazine cover. So you can all relate. The Doodle is as much an art form as anything and Art is so prevalent in DC. We fit DC to a tee.
So go out and vote. Once again here is the link to cast your vote.
Today’s doodle pics up where we left off yesterday, with our new section on re-facing. This one is one of my favorites. The shape of the back was so perfect to draw on, like a permanent tattoo and she has a message to add as well. So this one is for a Great Cause as well.
Here’s today’s refaced doodle for Day 387. NOW GO VOTE!
