art Rx
I went out for breakfast this morning with B, whom I've been friends with since childhood. Her stepfather passed away a couple of weeks ago.
Over coffee, I listened to her express all the complex emotions one goes through when losing a parent. Family dynamics, heartaches, and old wounds seem to rush to the surface. Grieving is such a tumultuous spiral of emotions.
I thought about my own dad dying and surprisingly, I still couldn't manage to find the right words to comfort her. Hopefully my being her sounding board made her feel loved and understood.
After coming home, I spent some time drawing tiny art prescriptions.
I had this idea to make little one-of-a-kind drawings like paper-cards with comfort notes tucked inside.
An Art Rx.
Each one will be intended for a different feeling/need. Still fleshing out the idea, but this little series feels good and I always love following whatever excites me creatively.
plus how cute is my new mug? i love it <3
still working on my zine! i wrote a little bit of my process on my Ko-fi :)
