Hi. I’m new around these pixels… My name is Mike and I’m a doodler. I love to doodle. I’ve been doodling as long as I could wrap my opposable thumb around a crayon. In fact, one of my earliest memories that I can rethink is of me and my dad trading doodles in church. Over the droning voices and minor chords, he would draw the plane from my favorite book, “Fly Away” and I would doodle it back to him.

We’d draw helicopters, rocket ships, aliens, tanks, monsters and whatever else we could think of. In school, I’d much rather doodle than work on maths. When given the choice of breaking down? sentences? into their benign parts or draw—I’d choose to draw, usually to the dismay of my teachers. Even now, when I’m in very important meetings, my pen will drift off, curl around, loop, scratch and flow and before you know it, I’m doodling. Somehow doodling has become the best way for me to express myself, to think clearly and to most importantly, have fun. When I found this site—devoted to the art of doodling, I was immediately drawn in (he he). I’m honored to be a guest contributor for a while, and I’m glad to virtually meet all of you. Please take a few minutes out of your day and enjoy a good doodle. (This, my first-ever real blog post is devoted to? Fly Away. Thanks little pal.)
