Over the years I’ve created little haphazard sketches ranging from quick time-killing scribbles to more detailed pre-painting sketches. I consider them modest little doodles because it usually takes me just a few minutes to create them.
Some of them inspired me to create bigger, more detailed artworks. Sadly, they usually end up in a box, tucked away in my closet, so it feels great to take them out and have another look at them. I found that so many of them reminded me of beautiful, rare and melancholic words or phrases I’ve seen across the web. Naturally, I paired them up and found another layer of meaning to my humble little drawings.
A couple of months ago I posted some of them, but so many still remained, so I decided to make another bunch of doodle pairings with more striking words and their descriptions. Here are some more of my favorite creations and their descriptions.
