CALMING WORDS

An illustration of a monstrous woman comforting a person in a patient's gown.
CALMING WORDS, Digital, 2022

for me, the most frightening thing is being brave enough to fail publicly again. i realised how disappointing and numbing that was recently when i didn’t meet my goal of posting this painting on the day i said i would, and all i thought was a vague ‘oh well, not again’. without being able to anchor myself at markets or in communities, i haven’t been creating so many comics lately and most of my artwork i’ve kept private.

i want to be disappointed again, knowing that i tried my hardest. i’m not sure how to celebrate successes.

i still post to instagram if you want to see my sketches. true to form, i mostly post studies and fujoshi F1 and K-pop fanart content on there.

thank you for coming back.
