The Dandy Yankee Doodles Project
To most people, doodles are aimless, meaningless scribbles.
To me, doodles can have significant value... if they are redeemed.
Doodles can provide food and shelter to needy people on the fringe of society
who often feel that they themselves are nothing more than aimless, meaningless
scribbles.
ARE YOU A DOODLER?
I am collecting doodles to raise money for people in need... My aim is to
reproduce the doodles in a book, tentatively called Doodles of the Rich
and Famous.... Or to use the doodles on mugs and t-shirts... Actually, I
am not even sure where this project will lead. The objective is to help
castaways by recycling those little scraps of paper with scribbles on them
that most people customarily castaway.

Currently, the doodles of rich and famous people seem to have more value
than ordinary folk like you and me. Send their doodles to the
