Doodled Stationary Pages, Including Ultraman!

Ultraman Doodle Stationary

I spend a lot of time in meetings.  Almost all of that time I spend paying attention.  But, almost all of that time is spend with a notepad in front of me.  It is not unheard of for me to doodle while I am listening to the newest argument for X, Y, or Z (in fact, I am known for my elaborate meeting doodles that often incorporate key concepts from the meeting).  I have pages and pages of doodles.  Some of them are even pretty decent.  Someday I will get them all scanned, and posted as a gallery.  For now, though, I have a set of my doodles that I have turned into stationary meant for sending as letter-folded mail.

I have long been interested in letter folding.  I had a girlfriend in high school who was a note folding champion.  I haven’t talked to her in almost 15 years, but I still use the same folds I learned from her every time I write a note for Beanie’s school lunchbox.  My favorite letter-folding site is at Blog::Andows.  They have all kinds of great letter folds (for those that don’t read Japanese, the different fold directions can be found by clicking the text links in the green masthead near the top of the page).  Other letter folding directions can be found here, and here.  Another site is Letterfu.com.  Letterfu.com is what gave me the idea to turn some of my doodles into stationary for letter-folded mail (although in most cases I actually made new doodles specifically for the stationary).  The Ultraman at top is my favorite.  I made it for Beanie and Bobi, who LOOOOVE Ultraman.

There are more stationary pages, and a .pdf of all the pages after the break…

A maker project doodle stationary page.

A cross-section of the Earth doodle stationary page.

I like the cross-section of the Earth one.  I was imagining an extreme stretched scale where the core of the Earth would be visible in the image.  When I drew this, I was in a meeting where we were talking about (pretty obvious in my field) water and fish.

A frog and bug doodle stationary page.

Becky really likes this one.  I’m not crazy about it, but it was something to do during yet another long meeting.  Maybe someone will have a use for it.

Another cross-section doodle stationary page.

Original doodle that I turned into the above stationary page.

Here you go.  Maybe these will be useful for someone.  I will be making letterfu versions of these soon with dotted folding lines.  To use the stationary pages, download a printable .pdf of the all above doodle stationary pages, or click on each page, and download the image file (right click, save image as…) for printing.
