A random doodle by slchangstein

my personal sketches can be re-posted and re-oodled (re-interpreted for design) at will so long as the original is given credit to myself and driven on the hopeful assumption that you would want to.

Sunni Brown promotes visual literacy with The Doodle Revolution

According to Sunni Brown, leader of the Doodle Revolution and author of the book Gamestorming: A Playbook for Rule-breakers, Innovators and Changemakers, doodling is actually thinking in disguise and promotes creative thinking and problem solving.

It appears the Doodle Revolution is a campaign for visual literacy and to elevate doodling to a level of efficient strategic planning.  It is definitely easier on the eyes than Word or excel documents or printed out sitemap structures.  I personally doodle everything or take notes and doodle around it as I think through things.  It's interesting to see it taken to a more serious level.  I truly cannot picture myself taking these notes to my higher-ups.  Although I do want to frame them sometimes as they can become quite intricate to the degree of illegibility. And they do sometimes inspire new ideas. 

The website looks to have some interesting articles and videos and ways to incorporate doodling into your workplace and best of all a showcase of doodling...

Local Grown food shopping - Green Grocer

I must admit, after being in the poor house for quite some time and just eating thriftily, I sort of stopped caring where my food was coming from. I am intelligent, I realize the importance and consequences of eating well by means of buying locally and organically as much as possible. The whole world cycles thing. I also am a realist and understand the necessity to survive. Ultimately, sometimes the best thing you can do is just lead by example. Live your life as such and hopefully a populous will follow. Where am I going with this. All over the place. When you can, try and shop intelligently and don't just consume.


I am less poor now. No thanks to buyowner. I have been meaning to check out the Green Grocer on Grand Ave. You can purchase locally grown and organic food items.

MSG Flavored

This website will showcase some of my fine doodling capabilities.  By doodling I mean the automatic hand movements of utensil to paper, triggered from whatever neurological impulse, while simultaneously doing some other task like talking on the phone, taking notes, figuring out how to use blogger, eating noodles.  Yet I can be a terrible multi-tasker.

I noticed much of my doodles seem gastrointestinal related.  I do love to eat and cook food and play with words so there we have it, a website about the fine art of doodling and noodling and anything foodling.  I tried getting "cup doodles" as a blogspot name.  Apparently others have similar ideas about showcasing their doodles.  Maybe one day we can collaborate our efforts.  So I spun Eco-cup into the mix because you can recycle this garbage.

I am ethically conscious of my environment and the importance of awareness impacting personal choice, so this is added to the mix of oodling.  Apparently Cup noodles is coloring in their shade of green by getting rid of their styrofoam cups and using refillable ones.  So it's not just a catchy phrase. "Much more than a soup."  It's also a reusable plastic cup.
