I’m a little late to this little part of the internet. I’ve been learning to live with #LongCovid for over 4 years. One of the many things that kept me going was art. It was a way to rest, reset, relax & breathe. I felt it was time to share it with others to help them take a breath & smile. #art

“Never confuse your perception of yourself with the mystery that you really are accepted.” Brennan Manning

Others often see more in us than we see in ourselves…. sometimes the kindest thing we can do is believe them.

Illustration by @joyfulsmolthings. A deep blue background scattered with soft yellow and gold stars in varying sizes. White dots float across the image like sparkles or snow. In the centre, hand-lettered black text reads: “WHILE YOU’RE OVERTHINKING AND DOUBTING YOURSELF, SOMEONE ELSE IS LOOKING AT YOU WONDERING HOW YOU DO IT ALL.” Selected phrases are highlighted with a soft grey-blue brush stroke. At the bottom left, an open cardboard box appears to release the stars. One flap lies beside it. The tone is thoughtful, gentle, and encouraging.

I had a fun & different style for zoom illustration class. Hokusai inspired illustration with Mount Fuji in the background under a great wave. Not going to lie, it was messy, but it was great fun & I loved how it turned out. #hokusai #illustration #MountFuji
