I think I love your art. I didn't have time to look deeper into your gallery, yet, but from what I've seen until now, it's very deep and sad, a little creepy maybe, but then again... Most thing in life are. But your pictures are at least in a very beautiful looking way.
I wonder about something though... I'm looking at your profile via DA-App.
Below I saw a folder name with something about trauma. And some of the titles also made me think of that.
So... Is your art mainly related to that or also other topics?
I do have a folder in my favourites, in which I collect PTSD-related art that I can emotionally relate to, but it's mainly with much text or obvious symbols... So I've been wondering if I'm right with my thoughts about your art, too, because it's a lot more abstract and you don't always add log explanations - and I tend to try to understand art.
Sorry for the long text. Just wanted to tell you it's beautiful and makes me think.

Hey, I love your artwork and have commented on a few in the past. I have this idea for a art piece and was wondering if you would be interested in creating it. I do not have money to pay you, so it would be less of a commission and you creating it for fun. I see the piece in my head with your art style but I can not create what I see in my head.

sarahjgibson Β Hey, not sure if you ever took me up on this idea. It is Formication and dermatillomania. Which often go hand in hand (can be due to drugs or anxiety and other things). If you didn't that's okay.
Anyways, I was wondering how you are doing. I haven't seen anything from you for awhile.

Hi there! Sorry this is so late, I haven't been able to get online much lately. Normally I don't do requests but i'd definitely be interested in hearing about your idea!

No trouble at all! The wait wasn't a problem. I hope that this can inspire you and you feel better. Good luck with the moving!
So I have anxiety disorder (diagnosed with my mono polar depression) and one of my symptoms from anxiety is Formication. This is where at random times I feel as though there are ants crawling around under my skin. It can some times be in specific locations or can be my whole body. Often times I can find myself obsessively itching and have trouble stopping. Some days when it gets really bad, I literally want to tear my skin off simply to release the "ants".
This is what my idea is, the image that came into my head: A person (female, male, whatever works) clearly in distress and ripping at their skin and ants swarming in the exposed patches and crawling out. I see this as the person is sitting down, legs slightly bent out to the side, and their arms in an obtuse angle from each shoulder. The person would be appearing to be screaming and their hands ripping 2 large halves skin from head to chest apart. Their legs would have different patches of skin hanging off from being torn.
This is just the idea I had to express and picture the anxiety disorder. I almost instantly identified your work with it due to your brutal, mixed, hard type of scribbling/scumbling styleΒ and the color schemes of shade of blues, purples, and reds. I would be thrilled if this idea inspired you and you created it. If you don't want to, that's perfectly okay too.
Lastly, if you choose to, you don't have to follow my idea word for word. ^_^ Feel free to change it up to whatever you think would look better.
