The gang's all here!
This piece was originally done fully analog - fine liner and posca pens. As I'm working through merging analog and digital processes, this one was worthy of testing the analog to digital translation process out. I'm thinking about animating it some day too! For now, here it is in its new form.
I've got prints available if interested - Link in bio!

"Avoid the Void."
I find this scribbled in almost all of my sketchbooks. It’s my reminder not to get so disillusioned that I recoil into the darkness.
I’ve been struggling to justify making "art" while the world feels like it’s falling apart. But I’ve realized this is exactly why I do it. It’s an outlet for a scattered mind and a way to map out the chaos.

Wex’s designs are pure chaotic imagination, in all the best ways possible. Meet the artist behind the Anxiety BOOM, hear about her mental health journey and how it informed and shaped her design. Thanks for being so open, honest and passionate @thisiswex
A year ago, @boomimpact.co asked if I’d create an exclusive design for their mental health awareness drop. I didn’t hesitate.
If you know me, you know I’m an advocate for normalizing the conversation around mental health. I’ve navigated depression and ADHD; I believe destigmatizing these experiences is critical to evolving into a more compassionate culture.
My “Boom” was focused on anxiety. While I experience it less than depression or ADHD, the creative process revealed something hiding in plain sight: aspects of my work invoke an erratic vibration—a visual akin to the way I experience anxiety.
I leaned into that. I am really proud of what I created.
I hope projects like these continue to open doors—allowing us to talk openly about what we are feeling so we can stop deflecting mental discomfort into destructive behavior.
As the saying goes: “Hurt people, hurt people.” Let’s do something else instead.

Consistency is always the biggest challenge for me when I’m juggling client work and my own creative practice. But then I remember that what we do consistently is a reflection of who we are…

This was a busy month with client work and family stuff but I still managed to do this most weekdays.

Quick cuts to test out the edits app. Trying to figure out ways to make editing feel fun again, and I guess this is one way to do it.
Don’t love that m3ta owns everything but that’s the reality.
