WeeWillDoodle

Monday morning. YAWN! After staying up late last night, I turned on the news (finally) this morning (late morning) and watched WeeWillDoodle on the BBC. And since WeeWillDoodle also has a blog, here they are on DWB.

WeeWillDoodle is a group of artists deeply in love with the power of the doodle. This artist collective believes in, respects, and plans to harness the raw power of our spontaneous ideas and capture them in different mediums—on paper, on plastic, on walls, on your bare ass–you name it and we’ll draw on it. Give us a blank room and we’ll charge in with multi-colored markers blazing! We draw now and ask questions later.

So it’s similar to doodlage, only they get out and doodle all over the place. Well, all over the place out here anyway, in SE Asia. To be more precise, Manila.

If you are interested, the BBC snibbet I watched is on YouTube: Nassive Doodle art in Manila (Nassive?)

Now I’ve SERIOUSLY got to go out and doodle. But, not on my butt. No. Never.

Stefan G. Bucher’s DAILY MONSTER

Back in 2006 DWB was listed amongst Communication Arts 50 Essential Bookmarks, published in their November Design Annual. You can still see it in full at san miguel de allende arts + kulture.

Under the Design Community heading, DWB is right there amongst the big hitters: AIGA and News Today (yes, I was surprised). With DWB it was a community of three.

And it was back then that I found Stefan. Stefan first commenting on Russell Davies at Comm arts. Then Russell Davis commenting on Stefan at Russell Davies. It was a time of finds.

So it was back in 2006 where I first featured Stefan on DWB. I just love his banner photo, don’t you? Just like his tagline - “344 LOVES YOU” - it makes me smile. Stefan makes me smile. [… Continue reading … Stefan G. Bucher’s 200th Daily Monster

From the about:
On a quest to elevate doodling to the status of an art form that it deserves!
Notebook pages, sticky notes, scraps of paper… These treasures end up in garbage and vanish from the face of the Earth forever. Trashcan art salvage. Enjoy. [… Continue reading … doodlage
