Writers doodles

I don't know why but I think that doodles are really amazing...maybe because they are slightly more unedited than other works...

here are a few from a flavorwire post today...



Amy Auscherman of Kool Things tells us that she is helping to curate an exhibition of the visual work of authors at the Lilly Library at Indiana University. The image above is from Sylvia Plath's notebook where she illustrated a nightmare she had about being chased by a hotdog and a marshmallow.

This is also cool...a self portrait by Borges after he lost his sight...

This is good too...
