Doodleism is a style of painting I developed throughout the 00 decade, the paintings are based upon doodles. I draw the doodles in notebooks at meetings these days, but in the old days it would have been during class. It has been awhile since I practiced this style, the last major works were Hiking Elvis, and Saturation Costs. These doodles were from 2014 right around the time many changes were occurring in life, most of all moving neighborhoods from Mile End to NDG. The acronym MNI, hidden at the top, means Montreal Neurological Institute, and the red stringy shapes represent astrocytes. The noodle-like green things are nerves.

This was a another doodle from the same notes, but it did not mesh well with the previous painting so I made it on its own. The painting is actually on the same piece of paper as the last one stuck in the bottom. The city skyline is reminiscent of Montreal seen from the south (looking north) although there appears to be a desert in the foreground.
