The Washington Post – Spreading the Doodle Revolution

My experience as the Resident Doodle Expert at Sharpie, and the subsequent media tour it required, eventually led Margaret Webb-Pressler of the Washington Post to my telephone. She wanted to do a feature on doodling in the Kids Post and thought (probably because I myself am quite a child) that my work would be a great match for the story. The interview lasted about 30 minutes – resulting in, I don’t know, 17 whole words from me – and turned out to be the beautiful splash page you see above, with presidential doodles and all. We agreed there should be a Call for Kids’ Doodle Submissions for the holiday season and I’m really looking forward to seeing what gets published. It’s a two-part feature story, so perhaps in the next article I’ll squeeze in the line I’m now famous for in my family: “To doodle is to light up your mind!” Long live the Revolution, and thank you, Washington Post, for the coverage.
