Friends.
You need what you create; and the world needs what you create. I was reading in Amie McNee’s “We Need Your Art” that colors have the capacity to CHANGE our respiration, our blood pressure, and even our BODY TEMPERATURE.
Wild, right?!
Color?
Vibrancy?
It does something to our body, it causes all the systems housed within us to come alive. When you do something with color, make something with color, get something colorful for your space - it has the power to bring healing to your body.
Amie goes on to say that “when you make art and show it to people, you aren’t healing only yourself, you’re healing everyone who enjoys it.”
Yes, don’t miss this:
The creator of the art benefits from the art they make.
AND.
The people who view it and enjoy it benefit, as well.
AND.
With that?
The world benefits.
And so I keep creating (for me) and sharing (for others). I create these bright, pop-art-ish paintings centering around cartoon characters from my childhood in order to awaken my own inner child, generate a sense of nostalgia, and burst open the well of joy inside that so easily gets covered up by adulthood, bills, jobs, and the need to “be responsible” (whatever that means) … and it’s my hope that the bright colors and fun characters might do the same for you.
Here’s one of my favorites, Taz (Tasmanian Devil). I can remember being a kid and running around my house and backyard yelling like Taz did in the cartoons, pretending my legs were chaos-causing-tornadoes, and not having a care in the world.
Want this one?
Comment, email, DM - name a price (even $0) and it’ll be in the mail next week.
Much love, friends.
