The Sneak #1

March 18, 2016 vejrupjo#doodle, art, drawing, hello, shop, sneak, ughLeave a comment

I have this conversation with friends quite often:

Person A: I saw [Person C] at the shop today.

Person B: Did you say hi?

Person A: No, I totally did the sneak and ran off. I feel horrible!

Person B: That’s fine, I did it to [Person D] yesterday!

So why do we have this fear of meeting people we know around town? Basically, it should be harmless to at least say hi…

I discussed this phenomenon with a friend recently, and as we were talking I drew a bunch of doodles that made us both laugh, because we always feel stupid after sneaking off when we could just say hi to someone. So I’ll post these for fun, but it’s not intended as a guide like:

“How to never talk to people, ’cause people are gross”. Not the point.

I feel like the problem is mainly in the Sneaker’s head, and the Sneakee has less to do with it. Sometimes you want to say hi and sometimes you don’t, and it’s fine.

Morning doodle green one eye

Found another morning doodle for the segment. And decided to make it green as a spring theme. I’ve been jumping* out of bed lately because of the sunlight outside giving me that early spring feeling. Especially after I get a cup of coffee!

*Well, almost!

My first animation ever! It’s super clunky, but I’m really excited that one of my doodles is now moving around. Prepare yourselves for the possibility of more (slightly almost) moving doodles!

Morning before the alarm slash Snooze Master

The snOOze! I’m a big fan of the snooze button, even though I know it’s like peeing your pants. Which would also be a bad idea. And not something I’d consider even for a second just to stay in bed for 5 more minutes…

Today I didn’t set an alarm, because I have *¤0* a day off *0¤* which I’m going to dedicate to doodling. And probably napping.

Mornings Switching on Light Wuaaarhhgg WUAAaargh! Switching the light on in the morning is the first challenge of my day. I’m thrilled that Spring is coming so I don’t have to get up while it’s still super dark outside.

Mainly so I can avoid making THIS face.

Mornin’ yawnin’.

Getting dressed can be a challenge. I’m seriously considering the option of wearing my work clothes to bed so I don’t have to jump out into a cold room in the morning to put them on. That’s another doodle waiting to happen.

Winter casual lady warm colours

… freezing! Winter is cold. I even wear a coat indoors at the moment. This drawing of a calm and casual winter woman in warmly coloured surroundings helps. Kind of.

Also – yay, I did a bunch of drawings this week. Last week, two of my friends (at separate occasions) told me to get back to the doodles again, so I did. Also because I want to, but somehow I forget that I love it!

It might sound a bit crazy that I’d forget to do something that is literally my all-time favorite thing. I guess that’s what friends are for:

Reminding you to do things you like, when you forget them.

Wow it’s leaning towards soppy, this first post of 2016. Oh well, it’s a soppy season. Happy January everyone – stay warm AND/OR draw warm things.

Happy New Year’s everyone! Like the festive bug in this New Year’s doodle, I’m an indoor creature on New Year’s Eve. I’m kind of a scaredy-cat with fireworks and stuff, but enjoyed the last day of 2015 nonetheless. I managed to post 49 posts on the blog last year – hope to keep up this year and post many silly doodles for you guys.

Poop storm

Okay so. I drew this doodle about 6 weeks ago. Most often I switch off my thoughts while I’m drawing, and it’s only afterwards I try to decide what they mean. Based on the shape and colour of the above doodle, I initially thought:

“These look like colourful clouds from the 80’s or something! Nice to do some abstract work.”

But since then I’ve started working with social media, and I keep hearing Danes use the word “shitstorm” about situations in which a company gets a massive amount of bad press on social media.

Now all I can see in my colourful cloudy doodle are flying turds. Oh well. At least it led to this new non-abstract definitely-a-turd doodle:
