Buzz (around)


I love the word Buzz.

It has an assortment of all sorts of meanings.
For instance, you can say "give me a buzz" to someone you want a phone call from while sitting in a barber chair and walk out with a completely different haircut than you intended.

"There's a buzz in the room" could mean... "do you hear the excitement in the air?" or it could mean "watch out and don't let that bee sting you."

And, feeling a buzz can mean something different, too. You won't want to feel a buzz if you're putting in a new light fixture. But a buzz is kinda nice when you're sitting in front a fire with an adult beverage.

Another meaning of Buzz is to move. Zip around. Scoot around. Buzz around.
So here is my scooter girl buzzing around Paris with a buzz in the air and one in her hair.

What an excellent picture. I love the colors and style. The whole time I was in Germany I wanted my own scooter so I could buzz about town but my German wasn't good enough to take the driving test.

This is very cute. I think you got what you were going for--it has a "French" sensibility.

Lovely lovely work Shawn! Totally hip and beautifully polished! I love your silhouette treatment of the girl and her scooter - (buzzer?) really clean and graphic. Nice work Doodle Shawnie!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on "buzz" - it's a great inspiration as well (especially as I'm still struggling with the idea)
