DD92 – A Psychedelic Snowball
I simply can’t stay away from Digital Doodle Abstracts forever. I gotta flush them from my mind in order for other stuff to take root. Life would be a more interesting journey if we could actually see snowballs like this.🤣 Continue reading DD92 – A Psychedelic Snowball
DD91 – A Joint Effort
This digital doodle was one created by me and a new friend. We used opposing yet complementary colors. I kinda title it “A Fish In The Forest“. I don’t know if you can see that or not. Continue reading DD91 – A Joint Effort
Plain & Simple
I have been doing a lot of contemplation about my 2026 project here so I thought I would do something plain and simple for today’s artsy. If I had perfect recall maybe I could remember making something very similar in … Continue reading Plain & Simple
Doodling Has Been Fun, But…
I started my abstract digital doodling 9 months ago. It’s been fun but I think its “focus” time is past. I want to take my artsy to a higher level. Right now I think that is “Line Art & Quotes”. Continue reading Doodling Has Been Fun, But…

DD53 – Remembering Arizona And My uRV
I kinda think of this post as being the beginning stages of my line art project for 2026. But it uses an abundance of colors, so it is not in keeping with my anticipated style for line art. Maybe I … Continue reading DD53 – Remembering Arizona And My uRV
DD83 – Out Of Focus

DD16 – Too Little, Too Late?
This one came directly from the far reaches of my brain. I have no idea on interpreting it. Yes, it is kinda artsy, but I don’t think it is too little too late at all. Maybe some day my brain … Continue reading DD16 – Too Little, Too Late?
DD63 – Question Everything

DD50 – By Any Other Name

LA3 – A Little Line Art, A Little Watercolor

DD14 – A Jetson Universe

DD65 – Life’s Paths
Some people think that life goes in a straight line from birth to death, but I kinda think it is much more complicated than that. It is made up of twists, turns, and tangents of various flavors. That is what … Continue reading DD65 – Life’s Paths

DD45 – The Ultimate Boredom Buster
I try to fill everyday with challenges that make me think, but sometimes that is not enough and boredom takes over. In that regard, I am finding that doodles fit my current LOMO (Life On My Own) lifestyle very well. Continue reading DD45 – The Ultimate Boredom Buster
DD59 – Flying Away, Plain & Simple
Recently, I have needed an escape place from my regular routine. It is there that I generated this digital doodle. I know I am in my RetCom apartment probably 98% of the week.
