The best relationship art depicts the highs and lows of the authentic couple.

One of my favourite hobbies is creating origami. The art of turning a very simple flat piece of paper into different 2D or even 3D shapes that represent something familiar to our daily lives is truly amazing, even magical. Yet, origami can be simple enough that allow people of all ages to create something fun and beautiful with their bare hands.

FELTGIRLWORLD
Two eyes, a nose, a mouth stitched in red. I looked down at myself, laying on the table: not me, but a figure that easily morphed into me as the clock struck three A.M. and my eyes grew heavy from exhaustion. I’d come up with the idea while working my retail job the summer before college started––I wanted to make myself out of felt. I was in limbo between the end of school and the start of it, feeling weird about my age and the way that it made me feel both incredibly young and strangely old, and I decided to do something about it: to make a felt version of myself in eighteen hours, carry her around for eighteen more, and then say goodbye to her forever.

We All Serve
We all serve (which wolf do you feed) by the ADHD Accountant – Krid There are many things that we can do day-to-day that can bring pleasure, however fleeting. Those things that are ultimately only self-gratifying are often the most fleeting, and the easiest to achieve. Now I am not a psychologist, or anything more than an armchair theologian and philosopher. Everything that I am talking about is apocryphal or anecdotal. I admit to all manner of bias and that there are filters to my perception. Yet, having said that, I think that I have some kernel of an idea of a truth.

The Journal Journey
Time and again research has proved that our brains register negative events more strongly than they do happy ones and so these negative moments are much more likely to be remembered vividly and for longer periods of time.I, too, have always found beautiful things to be very fleeting and so keeping a journal is a way to capture the happy whether in the form of cut-outs or scribbled quotes or a polaroid, if I’ve had an especially outstanding day,and have it in physical form to come back to since our human brains so preoccupied with survival can easily discard the beautiful considering it to be unnecessary.

Finding my Creativity
To be completely honest, this is one of the first personal projects I have completed simply because I was inspired to do so in a long time. This is not a fanart, this is not a photo I found on the internet made in my style–this is genuinely my own thing. I used one of my own photos I took at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) a few years ago when I was a junior in college. I was visiting with a few friends for a class when we ended up having an impromptu photoshoot. I never posted any of these photos online, but I use them as drawing references when I do vector art.

Art Calms the Storm
2020 was one of the worst years we have had in recent years. For some, it was worse than others. In the summer month of August 2020, my nephew committed suicide. This shook my family to the core. It was especially hard for me as I knew of the challenges that he was facing.

Cut and Paste for Grownups
Cut and Paste for Grownups As I spread the creamy paint onto the thick, textured watercolor paper, I feel my breath deepen and my heart rate slow. I guide the wide paintbrush, creating swirls and leaving deliberate brush marks as I cover the page with wavy blocks of bright acrylics.
