Alexthedoodler
I’m a 21 year old doodle artist working mostly in digital and pen and paper mediums. I started doodling using pen aged 13 and found it calming and relaxing, helping me to express myself as an autistic teenager. My early influences were doodle artists like Jon Burgerman and artists like Keith Haring and Picasso. I love their use of shape and colour.
My early doodles evolved from traffic light-like creatures into doodle characters in large collages, often with local Ealing references. One of my more recent collage doodles is called Feelings, a collage of emotive faces. More recent work includes Mr. Autism and Spikey Mikey, both characters that seem to connect with people of all ages.
After leaving college and completing an internship in 2023 that included a short time at The Cartoon Museum, I am now looking for any opportunities doing the art I love. For me, “It’s the doodles that matter”.
