"Doodles of New York" is an ongoing project detailing our experiences and inspirations since we moved into the city. We have been drawing, taking pictures, drawing over pictures and more.

 

We are really proud of seeing the project grow and being able to share with you our experience. This is a small compilation of the ones we like the most so far <3
We are going to keep posting daily doodles and new new projects. Check out our page!
 

Delightful, unexpected geometry at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden!

 

As global warming makes the ice caps melt, the polar bears drift to new places, and New York encounters a different dilemma: what to do with the melting scholar buses?

 

 

Drifting in the wind, capturing a silent sound and one's dreams from a distant time.

Story #1
 

We had been living in a house for more than a month when, due to schedule conflicts, we had to move to another room. This place was bigger in number of bedrooms, had higher ceiling and two large couches. It also had, of course, a mouse frolicking about in the middle of the room.The bastard kept scratching the walls during the night, and nobody could sleep wondering where it was and when it would decide to crawl onto our beds.
We left in the morning.

Pedro always wanted to be a ballet dancer but his mother was completely against it.
He is a financial stock agent today and during his lunch breaks he gets his tutu skirt, goes deep into Central Park forest and dances nonstop.

Story #7
Our first musical was Chicago! We decided last minute and bought the tickets 1 hour before the show.. and it was amazing! We got second row seats for half the price, how much better could it be?
The performance was incredible and the songs are still stuck in our heads. We definitely got the bug and all that jazz. ♡

 

For nearly a month, Starbucks was a challenging experience. No matter what combination of words we'd use, nothing would get us what we actually wanted. Regular black hot coffee? Here is an ice-cold gigantic organic avocado and caramel smoothie instead. Every order, a surprise.

 

 

In this part of the city there is a Narcissus spread. They look everywhere trying to find themselves, until there isn't anything left.

Holding the doors of doom and crawling away from darkness, nobody would suspect of this innoxious place as the beginning of doom. 

 

 

He was never on time, never on time.
Running running and running.
Running away from life, running from everyone but himself.

Story #2

After being told the apartment had been cleared of mice (with an exterminator, traps and all that jazz), we went back into the apartment for our last trial. We lasted exactly 30 minutes against the final boss.
Cerberus was a three-headed rodent that guarded the entrance of the Underwor... kitchen. Cerberus was the twelfth and final labour that was given to us from the merciless Airbnb gods.
Upon escaping, we were welcomed into the conforting arms of the Mariott-Super-8 angels in the sky.

 

Gigi loves Lemon-french-Sour-canadian-irishy ice cream. She has a ritual of how and where to eat it. It can't be too cold or too hot, she has to be right in the middle of Williamsburg Bridge and facing West, never East. The flavors mixed with this perfect environment taste like heaven.

 

Here in New York, pugs are airborne delivered, by pigeons. This has been proven to be the most effective way of pug transportation.

PS: Yes, Miss M, this is Becky :)

 

 

Story #4

For a city filled with pretty lights, giant screens and endless forms of visual entertainment, people seem quite focused on their tiny portable digital worlds. So here is a digital painting based on our own digital immersion on the LED paradise that is the Times Square: our first touristy destination in the city.

 

 

 

Everyday when the sun was out, he went to the same bridge, sat on the same spot, closed his eyes and encountered his own peace. Being there was the only time he could hear his own heart beat.

Once upon a time the Young Yung found a disruptive presence in his beautiful garden. It just didn't belong there. Even though it accentuated the beauty of everything else it had to be destroyed. After contemplating it for one whole long minute, he ate it. The end.
