ysobelSo I've been in crappy headspace especially the last week or two, and then I ended up doing An Art about how I felt. Which came out remarkably well given that my iPad program is meant for doodling, not arting, so there's no transparency/opacity options and no layers and no zoom (which is especially fun given that I'm working in bed with my glasses off using a blunt tipped stylus).
Then I did a second one, and it also came out better than I expected.
I'm thinking of doing a blog thing solely for art relating to chronic physical/mental illness, like these and, but I can't decide what platform :/
[A person is walking naked through a waist-deep dark-red ocean, under a dark starless sky. Their mouth is taped shut; they are crying. Barbed wire is wrapped tight around their arms and torso, digging into them in several places, and the person is holding one end of wire in each hand to keep it taut.]
[A person is crouching down, head bowed, eyes closed, wrists and ankles bound, mouth hidden by duck tape. A collar around their neck is chained to a rock labeled PAIN. A belt is chained to a rock labeled FATIGUE. Floating above are quoted words: "just stand up" and "lazy"]
