.I’ll Paint Myself Out Vol:1 (how to disappear completely) The hardest thing I did to myself during this depressing episode is Not create, and felt like I needed specific props, wardrobe, etc for it to look perfect and how to financially get to that point, when the truth is I did this set with 1$ paint and a 7$ yard of fabric for a backdrop, in the end it comes down to what are trying to execute— a beautiful image or a story or both? Sometimes the pain we carry is exactly all that, and we need to bleed it out in chapters, the greatest part of being an artist is the desire to communicate with the world while the desire to stay completely hidden, In this set I wanted to show “Reality vs Instagram” the way I truly feel is depressing at many moments filled with anxiety, so I printed my favorite shots from this set and painted myself over them, my mind, my heart, to be physically part of these shots (NOTHING WAS PHOTOSHOPPED) after I scanned them this was the end results, I love the idea of the clean images representing what I feel I need to show vs. what I want to show, It feels amazing to slowly getting back to creating things I’ve put on hold, I can’t wait to continue this mini series and to slowly get back to my projects soon, more importantly I can’t wait to share it all with you! I’ll share a bit of the process in my story as well Which is your favorite? What have you been doing for your mental health lately?
