Everyone loves to doodle. Whether you’re scribbling loop-de-loops on a notepad or drawing line art in your journal, doodling is one form of art that everyone can partake in. But not everyone can create doodle masterpieces… unless your name is David Jablow. This multi-media artist is a serious doodle MASTER.
David created a doodle series based off of vintage notepads that have line drawings of a pin-up woman at the top. While the doodle pads encourage the drawer to “do it yourself,” we’re pretty sure nobody saw these coming.
We bet this is the first time this half-drawn pin-up lady has been treated with the respect a rad skater gurl/badass wild, wild west babe such as herself deserves.
First, she’s a pretty woman in a provocative pose stuck in a pretty icky misogynistic notepad.
Before you know it, she’s bowling, exploring space and biking around town.
The creative mind of David Jablow doesn’t end here. To view more of his drawings, explore his insanely imaginative Flickr and pick up the Do It Yourself Doodler in book version.

Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
