I gotta get back into my doodling habit

Being in a stage of my life where I am not constantly in pointless meetings has been terrible for my doodle productivity.

I got a fun book from my local library that is inspiring for space-filling, maximalist mind-wandering art stuffs:
Here are a couple of excerpts that helped unclog some of my creative juices:

For one thing, they always have pictures, or at the very least diagrams, and we all know all the best books have pictures. My haul for my inaugural 2026 library visit includes: 1. A book on making rag dolls 2. Two books on Halloween crafts 3. A thick tome called "Flea Market Flair" 4. My required at least one (1) book about origami I really like origami.
