January Updates

Just 1 month into the challenge and it's going well, time for some updates!

Firstly I'd like to give a special thank you to everyone who has sponsored me so far on this Creative Marathon. Keep the donations to Shelter coming! It really is a fantastic charity and I'm hoping to smash my target by the summer! http://www.justgiving.com/DailyDoodle2010

I've so far managed to keep on top of the doodling and it's building it into my daily routine nicely now. One of the biggest challenges I've found is learning how to not be so precious about my artwork, but to be spontaneous, creating quickly without fear of criticism. This way of thinking has been difficult to get used to for a perfectionist like me. The challenge is also making me look at my surroundings differently, constantly looking for inspiration from my environment. It's been a challenging but fun and very rewarding project so far!

As some of you have probably noticed, the Doodles have now earned a regular slot in the popular online magazine, Creative Boom. I'd like to thank the Creative Boom team for all of their support with this project.

Ideas have been brewing and I'm teaming up with Snap Movement to create a range of T-Shirts to help raise a few extra quid for Shelter! We're conducting some market research at the moment and your invited to take part. Please take 2 mins to complete the Daily Doodle survey and be in with a chance of winning a free Daily Doodle T-Shirt!
