I chose to write "When in doubt, just doodle it out" on my napkin because it is a phrase that most successfully describes the way that I get unstuck while making work. And at the moment when I saw the contest I was working on a project and was a bit stuck!

I doodle on napkins all the time! I doodled this one at our favorite restaurant bar: Leo's Pub & Grille in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania. Occasionally I'll leave the napkin folded on the table, but with a little Easter Egg around the edge, a little unexpected bonus for the person who finds it and likes it enough to explore.

Doodling is a great way to learn, solve problems and share ideas. When drawing out ideas, it provides visual clarity to your own ideas and you can also get others to 'see' your ideas.

Pen and ink on napkin. Sakura Gelly Roll Pens. It’s funny I never noticed the pattern on the napkins on my dining room table. The flowers were quite quaint and delicate. I decided to highlight the original flower pattern and let that inspire my pattern and mark-making. I love collaborating with the most unexpected of collaborators. I can see why so many great ideas are first sketched onto napkins, the no pressure canvas. I believe some of Jim Henson’s characters were first fleshed out on a napkin. Cheers to the napkin!

"Butterflies and Roses"- I thought this would be a fun fusion of a challenge of drawing on a napkin and a draw this again challenge. This was from a larger illustration I did way back in 2010, it was so much fun to re-draw this design. And equally as fun to doodle on a napkin! I used a mechanical pencil, white acrylic ink and a gold ink pen. I hope this looks alright, it was a challenge to photograph. Thanks for looking at my little doodle!

Music and food, that's keeps me going. While I was listening to MJ in a restaurant and having my breakfast, I had only this piece of napkin to draw something. I realized, that MJ song names will make so much sense with the food I love! Like "The way you make me feel", "Beat it", "Super bowl". It was just a though and doodled it on this napkin. Here I submit "MJ & food lyrical reality" through my doodle work.
