Drawn

A doodle by Senator Barack Obama sold for over $2000 on eBay today. The drawing, featuring fellow senators Harry Reid, Dianne Feinstein, and Edward Kennedy, was sold as part of the National Doodle Day initiative. National Doodle Day sells celebrity sketches to raise funds for The Neurofibromatosis Association and epilipsy research.

Nice stuff. I’d say he captured Kennedy’s jaws rather convincingly. Now, can he capture the popular vote? Oop – we’d better stay away from politics here.

Check out the entire National Doodle Day gallery here.

Some highlights include:

• This Snowman by Raymond Briggs
• Dog by Neil Hannon (of Divine Comedy)
• Whacky Animals by Piper Anderson-Klotz (Gillian Anderson’s daughter)
• A dress by Bruce Oldfield (fashion designer – I really dig this one)
• Nude Woman – appropriately enough – by Samantha Fox
• This Donkey by Paul Gribble

(By the way, what’s with the Eastenders “stars” who were too lazy to even draw anything. I like Eastenders as the next bloke, but c’mon – it’s a good cause).

Oh, and another wonderful Paul Gribble sketch – this time a train.
