let's scribble

I asked a handful of friends to grab a piece of paper, scribble for 5-10 seconds and send me the results. It's so interesting how a flicker of personality always shines through, even in the most arbitrary acts of unexpected invention.


"A scribble is a drawing composed of random and abstract lines, generally without ever lifting the drawing device off of the paper. Scribbling is most often associated with young children and toddlers, because their lack of hand-eye coordination and lower mental development often make it very difficult for any young child to keep their coloring attempts within the line art of the subject.

"Adults also scribble, although generally it is done jovially, out of boredom (as in doodling), or as a form of abstract art, or to see if a pen works".
