Gone Scribbling! Be back in a month...


Hello, scribblers!

A big high-five and hug for each of you. We're sitting at 118 totems and you're all blowing my mind with your scribble talents. Tomorrow I'm stacking up our kick-ass totem pole and this week Anorak will be pick their favorites for the double spread!

After the big fun reveal, I'm taking a holiday from scribble land. As happy as you make my inbox with you colorful doodlings, I need a nap. And after my nap, I want to put more energy into my illustration school. I only have a year and a bit to go, so I'd like to put lots of time into making that dream full-on alive.

I say 'our' and 'us' a lot (because we're a team), but really it's just little me behind the curtain of this scribble machine. And I spend a lot of time oiling her parts and updating her and resizing images and things like that. I love it, but sometimes it's a bit of a chore when it means less time for brainstorming and drawing.

SOOO, I'm taking a little break but will be back in a month!

Big thanks to everyone for your love! x lisa

You lucky little totem!!

This sweet totem creature scored Jess Smiley a subscription to Anorak!! He was the 50th scribbler to send in his handiwork and I'm very envious of the happy bundle to be arriving in his mailbox for the next four seasons.

If you're envious too, keep sending in your totems for a chance to be lucky #100 and get your hands on some Anorak love.

Hello, lucky #50....

We've already hit the 23rd totem! If you'd like a subscription to the very cool Anorak Magazine (each new issue will make your whole day feel good), then get doodling and be the 50th person to deliver us a totem!! Easy peasy.

The totem up top is zelig3's handiwork. I couldn't resist sharing at least one. Just make sure your totems are black and white if you want them in the Anorak coloring page.

That's just over a week away (phew)... so I give you permission to step away from whatever you're doing now (seriously, it can wait) and have a little scribble break.

Let's collaborate!

I'm keen to encourage more scribble collaboration, so here's a new project for you to dig your pencils into.


Clubhouse Scribbles (edit: now known as BIG TEAM SCRIBBLES) are big monthly scribble collaborations that only need a quick doodle from each of us. It's open to anyone, so you should have a go!

July's project is a bad-ass totem pole. Submit a quick scribble to help us climb all the way up into the cyber clouds. Here's how...

1. Print out this totem template
2. Draw your totem creature (keep it traditional or try something fresh)
3. Email it to lisacurrieee@gmail.com so I can stack them all together.
SORRY SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

Get your scribbles in before the end of the month because the big totem reveal will happen on the first of August.


Also, this month Doodlers Anonymous have given me a key to their clubhouse. I'll be guest blogging there for the whole month!
