Here’s to a healthy, prosperous, newsworthy 2011!

One year of doodles

Today marks the one year anniversary of Larry Roibal Drawing On Observations, A mostly self indulgent journey of my obsession with news and my love of drawing. Over the previous year (less two, week long vacations) I’ve posted every weekday and occasionally on a weekend for a total of 289 posts.

Now studies have proven that doodling hasn’t just improved my drawing skills but actually can help my memory and comprehension. Newsweek’s Dina Fine Maron reported recently that doodling in class may be a good thing, I wish my grammar school teachers could have read that.

Thanks to everyone who’s visited, commented, linked or thought enough to post.

Here’s a small sample:

Drawn, The Star Ledger, ABC News, Tad’s Tab, Lines and Colors, Boing Boing, Compose, Cartel Agency, Robert Plant Newswire, Art of Obama, Sugar Mob, I think it’s hilarious when sites from around the world are referencing my doodles, Like this, And this, And this, And this, And this,
Thanks to the Star Ledger, The New York Times, The New York Post and the Daily News for doing the really important work of informing our citizenry and supplying me with newsprint.

I hope some of you stay tuned to see what the next year brings.
