Andrew Buller‘s Book & Song Series
Scribble & Pen
Welcome to the world of Scribble & Pen. Welcome to their story, played out upon the Page.
This series is a fusion of creative expressions bringing together story, poetry, lyric, illustration and music – in a doodling daydream – like the one you would be told off for having at school. Yet I’m looking through that window again, and this time seeing it how I should have been allowed to all along – in poetry, pictures and song.
This is children’s storybook meets adult colouring. This is adult doodling with inner child – child doodling with wannabe adult – for I am a self-declared ‘chadult’. Let’s let the lines merge and emerge, and go wherever they want to.
Each book is twelve chapters, each album twelve songs, coming together as approximately an hour long. It’s an hour for each twelve, and each twelve builds upon the last.
Enjoy the stories and doodle along. Enjoy them as songs and doodle along. Let their conception become your expression. Scribble & Pen are born for all of us. Open and see what they say to you – I’d love to know.
Supporting Mental Health
I begun writing these stories and songs to support my wife’s mental health, as well as my own. The lyrics brought us great joy. As ideas for the series began to grow I realised I wanted to share this wider – welcome to the beginning of this creative journey.
I will be using Substack to share these creations, and long to build a beautiful, supportive community within this space. This will be the place for first releases of new poetry, lyric, songs, videos, artwork and more connected to the series. I also want to establish a Scribble & Pen Collective where we meet to support and inspire each other with our creativity. Ideas for this are in their infancy at present, so watch this space…
There is also an opportunity to support me on Substack financially – for the price of a coffee a month – something that my wife loves!
Scribble & Pen’s First Story…
Welcome to the first chapter and verse in the Scribble & Pen series. It takes us right back to the beginning when Scribble first met Pen. Their story will never be the same again…
How it all began…
At 2am, on Monday 9th June 2025, I woke with the thought of a Scribble – I reached for my Pen.
By 8am, I shared the joy of these ideas with my wife.
By 11am, we were sat in the MS Centre art group in Canterbury, Kent and Scribble came to life, drawn by the hand of my wife.
By 2pm, I sat with the lyrics and worked on crafting the song.
By 4pm, my wife and I were singing along!
Here is Scribble & Pen, as it was created in one special day – Scribble & Pen Day – to celebrate each year, to celebrate each Monday, to celebrate each day. For every day is a gift, every day an invitation, for new inspiration.
O happy, happy creation…
