Doodles

It was teacher's day in puerto rico on May 8th. This is for my gorgeous chrononaut who is smarter than me (she just doesn't recognize it and rather tells me that I'm a rockstar all the time).

This is a doodle made by Takashi Murakami and his Kai Kai Kiki team. It is called a kawaii doodle. Entitled First Day of Summer, it was posted on 6/21/11.

Doodle below is about the end of the mayan calendar. Posted on 12/21/12. The mayans predicted the very end of one of their technology's existence - their calendar. Apparently many people in the modern world interpreted it as the end of human existence. 

When artists commemorated the birthday of the father of origami, Akira Yoshizawa, he could have been 101 years old on 3/14/12.

In some countries, Mom's day is celebrated in March. This was posted in 2012.

I like google doodles. 

It reminds me a lot of drawings that my brother, Hoot, introduced me to when we were little.  My favorite memory is when he wrote the word 'boy' on a piece of paper and then drew a face of a boy wearing glasses by connecting the letters. I thought it was ingenious. You can find the word boy in that face.

I thought it required skills and a lot if imagination. So, yes, I practiced using other words like home, car and horn, the musical instrument. But my brother had this whole spiral notebook filled with his doodles. I constantly looked at it and was always wowed.

..which reminds me that I should doodle with my son one of these summer days.
