Thank you to @wirthhats for including me in their Artist Series! I am grateful for the opportunity to custom design and paint one their hats in recognition and support of mental health. Now more than ever, as we all deal with isolation, I find myself having to face and deal with my own mental health in ways i had previously avoided. I find myself wrestling with feelings of being alone and feelings of being lonely. As bouts of the latter loom over me, I am all the more grateful for chances to connect with others. Like a break in the clouds allowing light to shine through, even a few minutes of interacting with others lifts my spirits, reminding me that I'm not alone even when I am. It is that wave of support that i chose to depict in the visuals that I painted. Inner strength though outer support. Glory through love. #wirthhats #wirthit #mentalhealth #art #artist #fashion #customhat #hats #hat #painting #acrylic #clothing #vancouver #canada #support #community #friends #family #adoworks #blackartist #vancouverartist #canadianartist (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPReXkoMifT/?utm_medium=tumblr

A #tbt glimpse of an old design that I'm re-working into some more meaningful art. It will be a minute until I get back to it, but I'm still stoked to return to this piece. #adoworks #art #wip #workinprogress #conceptdesign #characterdesign #digitalpainting #stylus #lenovo #maui #tribe #god #power #legend #human #greed #religion #mythology (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY-FVkXPobM/?utm_medium=tumblr
