Waiting for the house to shut down so I can go and make myself a glass of milk.
I've been on a downswing for 2 weeks and I think I am hitting the lowest of it today.
#Bipolar #depression
Life happened.
Weather: brain fog with thunderstorms. 🌩⛈️
Not ok today. Have been not okay for a while but today is extra not.
Live art wall. A little bit at a time. It all adds up.
Something still lives in the deep dark forest. Something still hopes.
Live art wall started. Layered a few old pieces together. Added new blank canvas afterwards on to extend the art surface. Later each canvas piece can be a standalone piece.
My drawing skills are perfectly consistent, as long as the room’s the right temperature, I slept just enough, ate well, have zero plans later, my chair feels right, my internet’s stable, I’m wearing my cozy hoodie, no one texts me, and I don’t remember that one embarrassing thing from 10 years ago.
So I am thinking of creating a live art wall that I will work on at any time and it will keep on changing. It will never be finished but it will also be always new. 🤔

My first piece made in 2023 that has been fed and fueled by my struggles with mental health. All my pieces prior were inspired by varying degrees of hope and despair about life and love
Mixed media on canvas.
I want and need a side income from my art but I don't want to hard sell but I also really need the extra income but I also don't want to make art just to sell.
Gathering the energy to start a piece this afternoon. 😮💨 Also to write in my journal, sharpen all the pencils, ink the pens, carve some stamps.
A sputtering mood upswing but an upswing nonetheless. I wrote on my #journal while having my morning coffee. ☺️ Maybe a sketch in the afternoon. 🤞
As an artist and writer, I feed on books for learning and inspiration. I had a really bad depressive state recently so I'm trying to get back into reading this week. (Also, I tend to read multiple books at a time.)
I have Threads for my daily real raw stuff. So I am thinking this could be for my #artist self which had somehow lost its place and spirit in FB and IG. Here's a snapshot of my #tinystudio
First post. I really don't need another social account but some friends have moved here and I love them.
