Daily Doodle: If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller
I’m currently a third of the way through Italo Calvino’s “If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller” and I love his descriptions of reading experiences.
Field Notes Signature sketchbook and Tombow Mono 100 F pencil. The Seed Radar eraser did the not so fine job of erasing a few lines.
Daily Doodle: Neil Gaiman’s “Art Matters”
Watching Neil Gaiman’s livestream of “Art Matters” and feeling inspired.

Daily Doodle: Accidental Pizza Birds
Listened to My Brother, My Brother and Me episode 424 today and was inspired to draw this:
Pizzaria seagull and octopus, both incredibly wealthy.
If you aren’t listening to MBMBAM yet, I highly recommend it, and this is an excellent episode to start with.
Daily doodle: Dame Judi Dench at Wisley
Field Notes signature sketch book, Super5 0.7 calligraphy nib, Rohrer & Klingner Lotte SketchINK.
Quick sketch: Tic Tacs
I found a box of Tic Tacs in my drawer at work, an unexpected little treat.
As you can see, the Field Notes signature sketch book isn’t 100% fountain pen friendly (there’s some feathering), but it’s good enough in a pinch.
Arca Tel Aviv Port
We had a “street party” at work in Arca, a venue in Tel Aviv’s Port, and I took the opportunity to draw a quick sketch of the place.
Schminke watercolours applied with a waterbrush on a Stillman and Birn pocket Alpha. Sketch done with a Super5 0.7 fountain pen and Rohrer & Klingner Lotte SketchINK.
Quick Doodle: Saved a Little Bird
Saw a little brown bird lying still on the road on my way to work. It was alive but appeared stunned. I gently picked it up and moved it to a large planter, away from the road and the cars. Came back later with some water for it but it had flown away.
Drawn on a Field Notes Signature sketch book, with a Zebra fine disposable brush pen.
Quick Doodle: Why is it called Stiletto?
I’m reading Daniel O’Malley’s “Stiletto” right now, and more than halfway through I still can’t figure out why that’s the book’s title.
Potato quality photo of a potato quality doodle. Field Notes Signature Sketch Book, Pilot Futayaku Double-Sided Brush Pen. I love this brush pen, but the fine side dried up, so I was forced to use the wide side (it’s called medium, but it’s a broad brush, don’t let Pilot fool you). A bit of shaking and doodling later and the fine side is working once again – yay!
