I have been on a long journey now. Life crashed in 2016 and since then I have really struggled with making art. I went to therapy for 2 years, got medicated and mentally felt alot better. But my creative outlet, that has been what defines me since I was a child, was gone. I started painting silly balloon-chickens on canvas (see cover). It was simple, it was fun and holy shit did they sell well! But they were and still are lighthearted and unpersonal. But that was all I could handle. Simple roosters sitting on a clothing line in different predicaments. On the other hand I have been very creative on the theatre-side with writing and acting.
It wasnt until very recently I was able to sketch, draw or paint for longer times than 20 minutes. (Yesterday I sat in my couch and painted for 9 hours.) It wasn't until now I found my inspiration again and that was because I stopped taking my meds. The 3 paintings I've uploaded recently is the result of that. (Now, don't go and quit your meds on your own. You need to be cleared by your doctor first.) I was given an okay because I don't believe I am depressed anymore. But ultimately quitting my meds allowed me to be myself again. It took about 3 weeks for the side effects to wear off and I'm gonna try to convey one of them in a painting/drawing. In short: reality felt weird and it spooked me.
POINT IS, I hope I'm not too late back to the dA-party because I have alot moore stuff to bring. It's 2 AM here now so I gotta go and work on my next painting. Blabbering done.
As the title says, I want to remake some of my older stuff but I can't decide what. "Frank" is definitely getting an update, that is already settled.
What would you guys like to see in a newer, better form? "Anxiety" is not an option as it is a product of a severe anxiety attack.
Name a few suggestions in the comments below.
