So it's acceptable. Nice use of MSPaint. Did you use a mouse? I think I'm assuming too much. You seem like a Mac guy. <3 In all fairness, they’re two different greens. So it’s acceptable.

I love it. It seriously demands to made into a textile print for interior furnishings. The Earl of Bath would probably paper a whole room with it. That’s a sprucing doodle indeed. I love it.

Is this a statement on the gauche extravagance of Hollywood, _illustrating_ (haha) it's emphasis on gaudy simulacrum, a cheap polychromatic in yo face version of something truer, inspiring barbarous splashes and slashes of color? . . . Or, it just pretty? I like the U.S. Office :) Thanks for the napkin! At once colorful and splashy.

Talent aside, I also love the Brits for rebelling against the plastic surgery plus toupe'/extensions plus braces plus botox ways of Hollywood. That colorful explosion of a doodle is, also, far superior to anything that an American would do. I'm surprised you're not 100 percent British. I tried to bring us full circle here, but ended up with a pentagram instead. Please do not sit inside it and light candles.
