You ever have an art idea stuck in your head for years but never really had the skills to create it? Well this was that piece for me. I finally got there. This is my favorite illustration of 2025 and I call it Lazy River.
.
This piece is inspired by the online aesthetic of the pool rooms combined with vaporwave and abandoned mall themes. It represents the highs and lows experienced during the art journey. It also represents the loneliness it can have. It is a brilliant shining loneliness though. I think every artist is incredibly brave to venture into this unknown territory that is often undervalued by society.

Since I can feel it coming, no this is not AI. I did not even use AI as a reference and I’m proud to say I never do. I only use things made by other humans or things in my real life as inspiration. If you reached the end I just want to say thank you. It means the world to me 🩷🩵💜
