<p>Another month has passed and last Thursday saw another fantastic doodle planet. Doodle planet is all about chilling out, with a beer or two and having a bit of a doodle. It takes place the last Thursday of most months in Telford&#8217;s warehouse, Chester.</p>
<p>The setup this month was great as usual, but with an extra addition&#8230; light painting. Having never had a go of light painting before I was of course rubbish at it but it was great to have a go. If you happen to be in the area for the next event, and fancy having a relaxing &amp; creative evening, then I really suggest coming along and joining in.</p>
<p>You can see the photos and video I took of the whole event over on Flickr [ <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlosthedesigner/sets/72157624261645611/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlosthedesigner/sets/72157624261645611/</a> ]</p>

<p>A fun project for 2010. The aim is to create 1 design a week, every week of the year, resulting in 52 images. The term design is a very loose one for this project so the design can be on anything, paper, canvas, digital and can be anything from a doodle or illustration to a painting or sculpture (not very likely). The weekly deadline is the Thursday of each week.</p>
<p><strong>Take part</strong></p>
<p>If you like the idea of this then feel free to join in&#8230; There is a Flickr Group</p>
