These illustrations are part of an ongoing series on anxiety I started in early April 2018, as part of #The100DayProject. (See @helloanxiety_illustrated on Instagram to see more complete stories of each individual). This project is an extension of the fear illustrations I've been creating since 2012 (www.fear-illustrated).

I have been dabbling in different images to create. I guess I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone.

as it's Halloween

Beep boop bam! Here, I'm trying to draw from one little-known RPG=D I've always really liked Xiangling's palette! And the design as a whole. It had to happen-

Finally im doing an style challenge thats been on the internet for almost a decade now. Drawing a charachter in the styles of different media i enjoy. This are the first two, anyone want to guess wich styles i tried to copy here?

I've been all knotted up. Can't decide whether i need patience or a sword. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeeoBOPpelR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Acrylic painting on 8x10 acrylic paper

Stream of consciousness portrait. Just for fun and... to use of old markers and pens that have been lying around forever. In other words, getting rid of old materials.

First time using digital watercolor. I was BEEing curious

Watercolor study - 2 1/2” x 3 1/2” - of a scene I’ve been wanting to paint for a while.

I can't believe October is already here, and it's startling how fast time is moving. I shouldn't be up this late, but I wanted to make some art, especially given how today has been (8-3:15 'in school,' 3:15-10pm doing homework). The honest answer is I just feel down. I can usually phrase things better but my brain is fried. Everything is non-stop, the time I have to breathe seems to get shorter. Anyway, it's 11pm, I should get to bed.

I’ve been making a stamp a day for the next 100 days to keep me creative!

The past two days have been interesting, to say the least. My anxiety kicked up again, yielding two more panic attacks...oh joy. There's an increasingly chaotic external environment: COVID-19 positivity rates rising, looting, SAT nonsense (thank you College Board for not giving anyone information and for being very uncooperative). Am I angry at people in the world? Yes, and I know that's a generic, over-used phrase, but I truly am. I'm tired of all of this. I'm aggravated with the current state of the U.S. There's moments where things feel fine, and others when it feels like things are closing in. No one knows what the next few months will bring and tensions are high. Will things work out? They will eventually; they better. But, at the same time, what the heck is even going on anymore?

I've been pretty good lately about keeping a certain feeling at bay, but today it feels like it's set in a little.

Playing with an idea that I have been wanting to explore.

I don't understand but for some reason all my pictures have been going in sideways...

I've been drawing on wood again. A bigger format than before at 8 inches, I'm still exploring these denser, looser drawings. ·

A piece from my vernal pools/treescapes studies I have been working on in correlation to my interest in local creature found in our woodlands. I adopted the use of a circle one night, wanting to frame out an idea/sketch and a wine glass happened to be close by. Since then I have used it often, loving the circle aspect.

Inspired by the song "Leisure Bee" by the wonderful band : Tacocat

Last few weeks I’ve been doodling on this.

Been missing a color during Inktober.

Depicting the young peoples lack of real identity coming from a lack of any real sub culture except looking good on a social platform and trying to become somebody on t.v or on a billboard. This is only led to a lack of respect for each other and the notion that what you own or buy makes you more special than the next person, this in turn leads to robbing each other in chase of a fancy phone that will be out of fashion in 1 year. Human conciousness at this point in time had been completely eroded.

Fineliner sketch that depicts a forest full of drunk animals in various states. We have all been their in some shape or form.

I've been drawing a lot of mandalas lately. Circles, upon circles, upon circles! I love it! It's very soothing and meditative.

Howard Street, San Francisco, Fenestration, a wonderful building that has since been destroyed in the name of progress

A very mildly mutated chicken. It has been GMO'd into having more legs.

Hey guys! It’s been a while, but I’m finally back to drawing! I found a way to make it low pressure and easy to motivate towards, and that’s super tiny portraits. Enjoy the series!

Keith has been known to lead travellers astray in the swamp if they don't supply him with the correct number of Jammy Dodgers. The correct number is three.

I just finished the Calandra Lark. Here are some facts about this beautiful bird... Appearance: It's a large lark, about 17.5-20 cm long, with a robust build, a heavy bill, and noticeable pale eyebrows . Its plumage is mainly greyish-brown streaked above and white below, with large black patches on the breast sides. Habitat: This species is found in open plains, steppes, pastures, and dry cereal cultivations. It's mainly resident in the west of its range but Russian populations migrate further south in winter. Diet: Their main food source is seeds, but they also consume insects when nesting. Behaviour: Calandra Larks are known to be gregarious outside the breeding season, often forming large flocks. Song: Their song is considered musical and slower than the Skylark's. It has been historically popular as a cagebird.
