DOODLING IS A WASTE OF TIME - AN ESCAPE FROM THE PRESENT,
WITH ALL ITS BAD NEWS, PUZZLES AND PROBLEMS.
TO BEGIN - ONLY ONE CONDITION - LEAVE YOUR MIND OUTSIDE -
WHERE IT CANNOT INTERFERE OR MANAGE WHATEVER is about
PLACE ONE TINY DOT ON A BIG WHITE SHEET OF PAPER. A VOICE
IN YOUR HEAD ASKS ' WHAT NEXT?' OR ' WHAT IF' OR NOTHING
BUT A TINY BLACK DOT USUALLY NEEDS COMPANY AND IT WILL
BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE THEY WILL GO.
SOON YOU AND THE DOTS ARE SIDE BY SIDE - DARING TO DISOBEY
LOGIC OR PATTERN AND EXPLORE THE UNPREPARED.
IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE - IT WILL CATCH YOUR EYE AS YOU PASS,
STOP AND PUSH THE DOTS AROUND - THREE HOURS LATER WAKE
UP AND GO ABOUT YOUR DAY. COLOUR CAN EDGE IN LATE, GIVING
THE WHOLE THING ANOTHER LEVEL.
AT SOME POINT AN IMAGE WILL COME INTO FOCUS, AND IT IS
NEARLY ALWAYS A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
FINALLY, AS YOU POLISH UP THE COMPLETE IMAGE AND PUT IT
AWAY, MARVEL AT THE SECRET LIFE OF YOUR UNCONSCIOUS
AND WONDER WHERE IT MIGHT TAKE YOU NEXT.
