100 Heads
For about 3 years I had been drawing little heads on doodle.zone. Eventually I decided that when I hit 100 heads, I was going to get a print made of all of them in a grid. Little did I know that this would turn into a months long odyssey to get a print made the way that I wanted it.
Hundreds of dollars wasted on some prints from bad vendors, weeks of trying to screen print this myself – and I still couldn’t get it right. For whatever reason, printing something at 18×18 on nice paper is a weirdly difficult thing to do. The print that I ended up making a frame for in these pictures is the best one I could muster by myself. There’s still some (minor) problems with it.
Update: Last week I decided to bite the bullet and just order a “fancy” giclée print from theprintspace. It was $60 for one print and shipped from the UK, but it’s perfect. Now I can stop thinking about it 😮💨

Amazing!
I do love this idea. Do you have any ideas for what you might do for a second version of this once more years have gone by, and you’ve doodled more?
Maybe! I’ve definitely drawn enough little vehicles that I could probably start working on some sort of series of those 🤔
