Doodle Friday

I don't know about the rest of you, but I simply adore reading. I can get lost in a book for hours... days even. I always hesitate when taking on a new book because I tend to put everything aside and lose myself in those musty scented ivory pages of simple fonts and glorious adventures. If you get MAKE the opportunity to read the book Lamb by Christopher Moore. He is by far my new favorite author (thanks mom!) and this particular book has knocked my other favorites right off the list and into my neighbors garbage can. I have never laughed so hard and cried so good in my life. For those of you who know, I have a soft spot for sarcasm and think that without giving out a daily dose (or twelve) I'd probably go bonkers. Moore's writing style is BRILLIANTLY sarcastic and loaded tinged with a humorous perversion of epic proportions, in the best sense that is. He's the kind of uncle I never really wanted but desperately want to meet. I should like to buy this man a beer and/or a grilled cheese sandwich. He seems like the kind of guy who appreciates fine grilled cheese.

I realize this post is titled "Doodle Friday" and I'm getting there. I may have gone off on a tangent about my love of BOOKS, but my love of reading goes beyond that... to BLOGS. Since I've started mine I've been following a few others. Reading, laughing, and learning lessons on how others have been putting there's together. I try to take away things from blogs I find interesting in order to better improve mine. The one thing I found myself looking forward to on other sites was their "weekly special" post about something...

It has been a little more difficult to keep up with the task of writing about and PRODUCING art than I had originally planned. Life is crazy busy! So while I may not be able to create awe-inspiring art on a daily basis, I can sure whip up a humorous doodle in a small amount of time one day a week. So that's the plan! Pick a topic/subject/piece of fruit and give you a deliciously spicey doodle on Fridays!

So here you go my little Simpletons! Yes, you have a nickname now :-) For your first Doodle Friday:

BIRD. NERD.
Enjoi.

Cheerio!
