Elaboradoodle

Richard Martin submitted this on his wife's behalf. 
He says "this is one of the more elaborate of my wife Katie's doodles. Five minutes a day to shut out the rat race or in staff meetings. She has a book full."
The first image shows how the doodles start out, and the second, larger image is one of the more extensive, finished versions.

"Dolly Doodle"

Anne says "I always doodle when on long phone calls to family and friends or while "on hold".
I seem to draw lots of circles or boxes with things trapped inside them and also lots of double headed arrows. PLEASE don't give this to a psychologist for analysis!"

Lecture doodles




Mary Goslett offers these as her contribution to the "Doodle by the Desk' competition.
She says "These are 'listening to lectures' doodles - fun to do, but not terribly useful when I later try to read my lecture notes!"

Horse with no frame

We'll leave the explanantion of this one to Peter Valerio, the man who drew it.
"I call this doodle "Horse with no frame". I'd like to offer you a deep explanation concerning this name but I should 'fess up... I have none. It just ended up looking sort of, kind of like a horse and clearly it's not fenced in. It's also sort of flying over waves or similar. I also see the Opera House top right. No idea what that's about. Anyway, I figure this name will do. Did it around 2005 and kept it to remind me of something. Can't recall what it was. Shame that."
