“Losing control” + doodles

Hey everyone ;__;

I know I’ve been away for a while. The truth is… the current world events were really kicking my ass. The impending gloom and doom and some other general stress has been affecting my creativity. I almost felt that i wanted to quit… at least for a while… but I watched this video and it gave me the drive to come back stronger.

Are you guys dealing with this kinda slump too? I dont think I’m alone in this. Escapism is needed. Specially when your life is targeted everyday. Please be safe, everyone. I’ll be posting more regularly like before now.

I didn’t get to comment when you posted bc I got busy with work!! But it’s honestly been so hard. I’ve honestly been living my life outta spite and free will. I just gotta keep telling myself that things will get better bc THEY JUST HAVE TO! I’m also taking time to rest, read, chat with friends/family, and live the best I can. And everyday my best is going to look different. I just gotta keep pushing, make my own lil impact, and do what I can with my own resources. I saw another IG reel that suggest making your own art as postcard to pass out at protests to have people send/mail to their reps and I thought that was cool!!

Awe I have been continuing my support for you for a while, despite you not being as active as you once were, I hoped maybe you would return or even if you never did I was happy to be a patron as your art left an impression on me I was more than happy to repay any way I could. I can't speak for what you should do about your creative slump as only you can decide that, but know that your art spoke to me in a tough time in my life and it was impactful, whatever you decide, I hope you know that and I encourage you to always try to do your best and live life true to yourself ♥️

I fled the States, I couldn't take what was happening anymore, couldn't watch how much of my family was in favour of all of this. I was in university in Japan back in 2023 before having to withdraw- so I reapplied and did everything in my power to get out. Now that I am, it's a struggle making it day by day, but I'm mentally in a much better place. Studying humanities, social sciences and what not. So yeah, I get it, I really do. Trying to get back into my creative writing again.

We gotta do what we can to get our drives back, I'm happy you are creating again as well 🥹

This is so nice to read, thank you so much 🥲🥲

Sleepy Mocha

I feel you 10000%, because I also am mexican 🥲🥲 it's rough out here. But we need art more than ever, so thank you for continuing to create❤️

Sleepy Mocha

As someone of mexican descent I couldn't do a damn thing in the beginning of the year. But creating and doing what I can to fight has got me back. Glad to see you back!

A privilege to remain a supporter. And seeing an update made my night much better so you are making a positive difference posting again.

So glad you're back! The world is more terrifying than I've experienced it before and I stopped doing art for a few months. But I've been reading Audre Lorde and her perspective really helped me, so I've been making an effort to do more creative things again
