OK, I have to confess -- my studio is overflowing with ACEOs!
To make room for new work, I'm having an end-of-year sale. I've reduced prices and am loading artwork as fast as my little fingers can type to both eBay and Etsy:

Sale prices are temporary; prices will return to normal on January 3. Thanks for looking!
Here's a doodle that grew in a whole different direction than so many of the others.
This card is standard ACEO size: 2.5 x 3.5. It is an original and is signed on the back.
My ACEOs -- doodles, collages, and paintings -- are now available through eBay: http://shop.ebay.com/lifeneedsart/m.html
Sort of reminds me of a pinwheel, don't you think?

In contrast to yesterday's doodle, this one has every spare space filled up. I'm not quite sure what it is, but it feels very fancy.

When I set my boundary lines, I tend to fill up the space completely. However, a few of these doodles break that pattern and leave a lot of white space, such as #19 or #22.

Now here's a slightly different one. This is in purple ink on purple rice paper. The paper is very delicate, so I've signed it very very lightly on the back to prevent the ink from bleeding through.

So far, this is the only vertical doodle I've done. I tend to prefer the horizontal format, except for this one.
This doodle is done in green ink on bristol board.

Sepia ink on smooth cardstock. Materials are archival, as always. If the last 2 were a castle and a tea room, this one is more...jazz bar?

Sepia ink on smooth cardstock. Materials are archival, as always. This one has some similarities to yesterday's doodle, but it feels less like a castle and more like a cafe or tea room. Yes?

I promise that I won't do doodles forever; I'm just having fun with them for right now. :)

I don't begin these doodles with a design in mind. I draw random lines to divide the card into sections and begin filling them in with patterns. I choose patterns based on what appeals to me, and the patterns I see around me. The cards evolve as I go.
Certainly not a novel process, but I'm enjoying it.
