statement by the doodler

i doodled this with only half my attention focussed on it and the other half focussed on the live debate between barack obama and john mccain streaming through my computer one afternoon last year. my memory of that day is so clear - beautiful sydney weather pouring into our upstairs room and the blue curtains billowing out... matt and kevin beside me watching the debate intently, too... maybe my memory is so clear because I was doodling? usually i have a memory like a sieve, but there could be something in this doodling improves your concentration thing.
