What do you typically take with you in your ‘to-go’ art<br />
bag? I know I’ve seen you use some interesting<br />
tools….such as coffee. I usually have a mechanical<br />
pencil and ballpoint pen in my pocket (probably not the<br />
safest thing). Most of the art tools I own and use,<br />
(maybe all) were free, found or given to me. I like things<br />
I don’t have to baby or worry about losing. I also like<br />
showing up places with nothing and using whatever I<br />
work, and getting a quiet moment, I asked Adam to sit<br />
down for a few quick questions. I wanted to know how<br />
it all began and what inspires him to keep up the doodle,<br />
day after day.<br />
Adam Danger Smith. How did Danger become your<br />
middle name? Are you actually dangerous? (Just in<br />
case, I should know.) When I was a kid, I heard someone<br />
say it in cartoon before school one day and decided<br />
to use it. My middle initial name was Daniel so I<br />
showed my friends that my middle initial was “D” it was<br />
enough to sell them. Plus, my mum would always go<br />
along with it. Yes.<br />
How did you begin the Doodle-a-Day journey? Honestly,<br />
I was jut trying to impress a girl using the limited<br />
art skills I had and with demonstrating my power and<br />
commitment.<br />
What inspires your art? How does the local music<br />
scene inspire you? I see you at so many local music<br />
events working on your doodles, it has to have a<br />
special meaning for you. Contrast, life scenes, odd<br />
shapes and pretty girls. Usually some sort of self induced<br />
romantic drama. I LOVE, love , love, music but I<br />
doodle at shows because I like being around people<br />
and leaving the opportunity open to meet new people.<br />
can find. It keeps me creative.<br />
What is CARCOSA and how did that come about?<br />
CARCOSA is my video production company. It’s just me<br />
and I only take on projects I want to do….so I’m not<br />
very lucrative.<br />
You make some of the most beautiful videos. How can<br />
people get in touch with you to have a video made?<br />
Thank you so much! Video is where most of my passion<br />
resides.<br />

Lately, it seems that everyone wants an Adam Doodle.<br />
At least all of my friends do! How does it make<br />
you feel knowing that so many people love your art<br />
and want a piece of it in their home? That makes me<br />
really friggin’ happy! I’m all about legacy and to know<br />
my doodles are sprinkled throughout the land, floods<br />
my brain with dopamine.<br />
How did the art show come about and will there be<br />
another? I needed to get rid of my doodles. There’s a<br />
new one everyday and they’re everywhere! If I don’t<br />
have deadlines or accountability I won’t ever get anything<br />
done. I will procrastinate to make it perfect and<br />
nothing is ever perfect. So, a couple weeks ago, I randomly<br />
decided to have a show and posted and event<br />
