Hello, my name is Robert Thomas,
and I'm a doodle addict. Oakland, California

I’m a former Zen monk and priest who now runs a SF Bay Area nonprofit that brings mindfulness to schools. I started doodling on my iPad 5 years ago when undergoing 4 months of chemotherapeutic treatment after having been diagnosed with stage three cancer. Having a creative form during that time was a lifesaver for me. So now, I just continue to doodle, happy with the amazing technology of the iPad, Procreate and Pencil. I hope you enjoy my explorations.

I have always liked drawing with wild pastel colors and finish with a black pastel on top. Then use a needle to put put the image. Off course it is even more easy on a devise, when you don't get all the mess.

What happens when Jimmy is reading Ezekiel in the morning then discovering @themarcuskingband and @billystrings and doodling on the same day? There is no logical reason to throw all this randomness together in one drawing. This stream of consciousness improv drawing can get weird at times. All I can say is if you were in my head 24/7 it would all make perfect sense. I have become comfortably weird.

I visited my 6 year old's class las week to talk about what I do. They each made a little drawing and I got to put it tougher into this super fun pattern.
