Holy crap, I just spent too much time on Mason's flickr site. I got lost in the randomness of his doodles and how they seem to land on any damn thing he comes across. His drawings are loose and unpretentious, free to roam, with layers of goofiness but end in an almost perfect layout and composition.

Mason, let's go have a beer, and then draw me something to hang on my wall.

I remember seeing Anika's work back in 2010 when she participated in a giveaway we were doing here on the site. It's been a long time since then, but now she's captured my attention again with her pattern a day series on flickr.

The quick and simple doodles loosely repeat themselves in bright colors on the pages of her sketchbook. She claims there's no theme, but look how complementary and developed they appear when presented in the context of a set. Join me in encouraging her to keep it going over the coming months. YAY Anika!

Rik paints smashed up beer and soda cans with his style of "urban pop art." Drawing quirky characters and embellishing them with type, colors, and magazine cut-outs is what he does best and we love him for it. Click for a glimpse of what I mean or read about his process here.



And now I've just discovered that he's keeping a tumblr blog of sketchbook doodles called Scrib Dibbles and I just had to share. Follow along for improvised, one-color, pen on paper, character-driven awesomeness. Drawn and posted with no editing or erasing. Much respect!

I love discovering new members in the DA community whose art I feel obligated to share with you. Say hello to Abel Macias, a freelance illustrator and designer who has recently confessed to me that doodling has been a distraction and inspiration for him since elementary school.

Visit his website and you'll see that comes as no surprise. I love what I found in his shop too, but first, look at this collection of drawings from him.

For those new to DA, the member spotlight is when I bring everyone's attention to someone from our community whose artwork has caught my eye. Today that someone is Chloe, you can meet the others here.

Chloe is a French art student whose lines are still learning to land in all the right places, but I really enjoyed seeing the different styles that she's experimented with over time at her blog. The talent is definitely there and I look forward to following along on her journey.

Marta's work is a blast of color. From fashion illustrations to objects, food, abstract shapes and even patterns, she somehow manages to fill each with smears and gradients that play and overlay each other almost organically.

Marta joined DA in December of 2011, you can find her at martaspendowska.com and follow her on twitter.

I love when drawings interweave, have depth and overlap all over eachother. It's like layers upon layers of scribbles that equal one incredible visual story. My gut tells me that more often than not, this end result is not planned, it just happens as a consequence to sketching in a sketchbook.

This is the work of Jess Worby, a recent member of DA that I just happened upon when browsing through some of the new member profiles. His work is exactly what I describe above, take a look for yourself and definitely welcome him to the site.
