Doodle@theWalk On the 1st and 2nd October, we held a doodle at Covent Garden Night Market at the Walk in JBR. This was the second doodle of the many to come, and was a super-cool experience. Not only was it a great success due to the high turnout of doodlers, but we also received some live coverage from CNN! Yes, that’s right – CNN people!

What was so great about having the doodle take place at the Walk was that it wasn’t limited only to the people who already knew about it. We’d placed a load of beanbags on the grass, so that everyone would feel relaxed and comfy, and we had so many spontaneous doodlers join us to sit and draw. We ended up collecting over 200 drawings from children, teenagers, parents, professional illustrators etc. 
We always encourage people to bring art supplies along to the doodles, but we also made up our own lucky doodle packets, which we sold for AED15 each. 
They contained just what a doodler needs to get started and were a hit. I think we’re going to make up more of these, since people liked them so much. It’s a good feeling to know that we’re one step closer to helping others. If you’re still wondering what we’re going to do with all the proceeds, visit this site: www.gulf4good.org 
What next? Well, we definitely have more doodles planned. Our next one is going to be taking place at the Jam Jar on the 31st October. Yes, we know that’s the night of Halloween… and we’re looking forward to it, so make sure you don’t double-book yourself!
