the idea: start with a line, make a design

Creating chaos is one of my favorite things to do in art.  By chaos I mean a mess or a problem that you then have to sort out.  That’s what is interesting.  Often this means splatters of color, strange combinations of design that fill up a canvas, but I’ve managed to translate that same sensibility into doodles as well.

Today, while trying to keep myself engaged during class, I started one of the typical doodles that I do.  But even as I started I felt my interest waning.  Instead of sticking with the same style, I decide to make a squiggle.  Then I had to find some way to make sense between the beginning of my original doodle and the squiggle.  Out of that came a design.
