Posted Mar 18, 2003 by Researcher Mercapto
I am a compulsive doodler and I find your analyses interesting, but contradictory in terms of my own doodle habits. I am not sure that eyes always mean one thing. Sometime I draw eyes to animate the doodle (animate as in bring to life, a Frankensteinian effort). I once had a psychaiatrist (a real practicing doctor) look at my doodles without knowledge they were mine. He said he was alarmed because he felt they came from a deeply neurotic individual with lots of surpressed anger. Gee, I don't think all my doodles are angry! I have been searching the internet and have found a dozen links to people who doodle and examples of theirt art. Some are eerily similar, as if they have tapped into some universal subconscious that has an Aztec mescal feel to parts of them. That makes sense, because as you state, doodles spring directly from the subconscious. I want to write a book on doodles, less on analysis and more on how they reveal some common human thing that is deep in our heads. I have some of my doodles posted on the web, but I won't flaunt rules by posting a link, but a search on my Researcher name should lead you there. I welcome comments.
