OUR SCRIBBLY TATTOO PARLOUR!


Today's scribbler(s!) is everyone who came out to The Scribble Project Tattoo Parlour yesterday at the Bend & Snap Market in Melbourne! We inked that skin up REAL GUUUUUD! Our four skin-canvas volunteers were very patient and stood very still as we doodled wild squirrels on their chest and sophisticated monocle tattoos on their pretty young face. Actually maybe we can't call them "volunteers" exactly since I did birth these three bikini-clad sisters (and that one dude) from my own paint tins. Would we call Frankenstein a volunteer? Have I ever seen that movie? Not important right now.

Either way they looked pretty chuffed with all the attention (and thigh tickles) they were getting! Especially the dude I painted in the romantic boxer shorts. You could tell he loved it. My little brother doodled a tattoo on his right bicep saying "im awsome and strong" heh! Because ladies don't know these things unless you make it very clear. In black permanent ink. On your bulging bicep. And with that dating advice from a young boy with eight whole years of life experience I'll wrap things up here!

...and some very serious crotch doodling by these two dudes, heh! Follow me on instagram (@scribbleproject) for behind the scenes photos. I mean "behind the scenes" making the tattoo parlour, not "behind the scenes" doodling crotch. Cool!

Bath Under The Stars....


Today's scribbler is Cate Edwards and she's a lady after my own heart with this "bath under the stars" idea! Whatever you're doing right now wouldn't it be better done in a deep tub of hot water under the twinkly moonlight? OF COURSE. Actually no! Gosh. I just realised what you're "doing right now" should never be done in the bathtub. Oh: unless someone is kindly transcribing my blog onto audiotape (THANK YOU STRANGER I IMAGINE YOUR VOICE TO BE LIKE SALTED CARMEL MELTING INTO MY EARLOBES) then that'd be fine. How about we tap-tap on our laptops first, then soak our naked skin under the stars second? Yes!

+++ Magic Powers +++


Today's scribbler is Yanrong, a fellow Melbourne chick! Isn't it funny how we get all chummy when we find out that someone shares our hometown? Once we realise we're wearing the same metaphorical team jerseys then BAM, we're bonded. But maybe I have bumped into Yanrong at some point? Maybe we've done the awkward footpath dance when she was going left and I was trying to go right and "whoops you go" and "no sorry you go" etc! Maybe! Anyway: road trips, campfires, magic powers and ocean-life in her lungs? She sounds like a fun friend to have around. Next time I'm in the city and notice someone with ink under her nails and seawater bubbles popping out her nostrils I'll be sure to say helloooo!

Stuff My Ma Told Me


Today's scribbler is my good mate Melissa Tan! We met last year at a hostel in LA and shared a common love of "assorted dips" and I admired (still admire) her bold use of tupperware snacks when we go out. I think "tupperware snack preparedness" is my new favourite quality in a friend. Also! She's editor of music blog Who The Hell and you might (or I might, since you're not here) sum her up as a clever and friendly hunk of pretty lady with very itchy feet. I mean "itching to travel" not the scabies kind. ♥♥

Free Fireworks Show!


Today's scribbler is Fruzsi Kenez. Her scribbles (above) make me feel like I'm watching fireworks! Craning my neck up towards the sky, eyes wide, ears flooded with the sounds of CRACKLE-BANG-FIZZLE-FIZZLE-BANG-SHHHHHHHHhhhh and then a collective "woooah" and wild applause from the crowd. Then a milder applause as people quickly pack up their picnic rugs and small children and rush to the nearest exit because they want to leave the city before everyone else does. But you don't have to rush home right now because this is the internet. Stay all night if you like! These fireworks are 24/7 baby! Yeah!

Today I noticed that this cute scribble sheet by Megan Isabella had somehow been lost from the blog... no way! So here it is one more time.
