This week's doodle is a return of the carpet doodle.
Formed by simple, crisp and clean line, this doodle is all about the intricate patterning.
The patterning sometimes gets lost when I black them in. The blacked in doodle becomes about contrast between black and white rather than patterning.
Last night I watched Exit Through the Gift Shop. The film is about street artists and a guy who wants to make a documentary about them, and failing that, he becomes an artist himself. Last night when I watched it I took it at face value. But as I think about it today, I am wondering if it is a mockumentary, like Best in Show.
It was fun to watch, interesting to see these artists doing their thing, and impressive to see how they worked the media to promote themselves. I think it is the scale of the thing that rings false with me now. The film may just be some more media manipulation by some masterful self promoters. Have you seen it? What do you think?
