Doodle Word Art 
I have stumbled into doing ‘Doodle Word Art’ in the last year and a half. They start out with a random word or thought and progress from there. I usually work with just black and one colour. These started out as a daily doodle piece I sent to my friend (and poet) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They have evolved and have become sort of a hobby. I produce two or three a week. Doodle Word Art is just another way of expressing myself. They are a fun change from my serious paintings, sculpting and poetry.

Note: I am pleased to be able to share a few pieces for you to get an impression of what I refer to as ‘Doodle Word Art’. I often post them on
Instagram and/or facebook.
