Architect #1: Raffi Z.'s Labyrinths and Soldiers
Monday, February 2, 2009 at 10:45PM I'm looking forward to finding out if this is a common theme among architects, but I haven't seen someone use an arrow as well as Raffi! During one long (2 hours +/-) phone conference call, Raffi drew a labyrinth of arrows, weights and measures...almost like a diagram for a remake of Donkey Kong. Which way to go and what happens if you take a wrong turn--do you get chopped in half? Hung from a noose?
It's brilliant! And note the comment at the top of the page, "It's a matter of confidence."
My favorite part of Raffi's doodle series is a drawing that we found a few days later in his notepad: a little warrior made up of targets and arrows ready for battle. It's as if this little 7.11 soldier was birthed from the Arrow Matrix, set to slay and clean up the chaos of the labyrinth before him. Scroll down and don't miss it--he's adorable.
Raffi's Pinball Labyrinth...which way to go??

The funny thing is that Raffi did not see the (clearly male) humanoid in his doodle until I pointed it out! That's what I love about doodles. Who knows what you're going to get when you're not consciously thinking about it.
Little 7.11 Soldier, birthed to battle the labyrinth above. Isn't he cute?!:
