Description
I started doodling during the pandemic. I found an old packet of felt tips pens and a blank A5 pad discarded in a junk drawer and decided to do something other than...well, eating and doom scrolling! Suddenly I found myself becoming rather taken with the process. It didn't have to be perfect. It didn't have to be professional. It just had to feel good.
For me, its all about mental health, joy and expression first and foremost. If other people happen to like my doodles and drawings, that is a sweet bonus extra.
Sometimes I still draw in an A5 pad with kids pens and sometimes I go all the way up to to A3 with Sharpies. No computer graphics (I'm a graphic designer of many, many years believe it or not), certainly no AI. I abhor AI. Just plain paper, some pens and a lot of heart.
The figures in my drawings are what I refer to as my Vibrational Beings. They aren't solid humans; they're the vibrational energy found inside of humans when we connect to our higher selves. At one with their surroundings, flowing effortlessly, allowing themselves to create.
My little drawings are an outlet for my mental health. I believe in “art for art’s sake”; joy, expression and spirit. Don’t feel judged or pressured to be like everybody else. If it makes you happy, you’re doing it right.
