Calling all doodlers! Phil Cooper's next album needs you

Musician Phil Cooper is calling on doodlers to create pictures for his latest album.

Released in a statement on Saturday, Phil said: “If you’ve seen one of my live shows you’ll know all about my doodle pad, which I hand out for people to draw little pictures or leave notes for me. It’s become such a big part of my show that I feel I need to take it to the next level and use it on the album booklet for my next album Thoughts & Observations.

“The idea is that each page of lyrics within the album booklet will have corresponding doodles, created by you, using the list of phrases below as inspiration

  • Thoughts & Observations
  • Problems of the world upon your shoulder
  • Shake it up
  • Citizen
  • The kindness of strangers
  • Time to walk away
  • Find my own way out
  • Production line hate
  • You can fool the people all of the time
  • The word “yes” is a powerful thing
  • One little step and I’m on my way
  • The choice is up to you
  • Yesterday’s pain is tomorrow’s debt
  • Driving towards a hide and seek moon
  • As I travel this open land with my guitar in my hand
  • We hide the world with our own smokescreen
  • It’s always been a waiting game
  • Coffee Break

“Anyone that gets included will be given a free copy of the album, and credited within the booklet.

“You can send me the doodles on my facebook page, twitter, Instagram or by emailing doodles@phil-cooper.co.uk.

“Please feel free to send me as many doodles as you like, and don’t forget to tell me how you would like to be credited on the album.”
