Thin Slices of Anxiety: Observations and Advice to Ease a Worried Mind A clever antidote to everyday angst, this illustrated book captures universal truths and comforting revelations about being human. Artist Catherine Lepage uses her wry humor to help us see that "thinly sliced and illustrated, emotions are much easier to digest

Through a backdoor of disarming and almost lighthearted honesty, Lepage takes us on a guided tour of this heavyhearted prison of the psyche, its symptoms, and its side effects — from the trap of people-pleasing to the toxic allure of conformity to the sense of outsiderdom. Source: Marginalian

I made an illustrated book about Orpheus and Eurydice, an ancient greek myth.

Here is the second page in my original language, Portuguese. (I'm not that good with English to risk translate the text).

I struggled a lot with this art, the valors and the mood where all wrong. But after a few alterations, I'm happy with this result.

Look, is Eurydice after dying by snake bite. I love the background rock composition and the medieval mood. The eteral feeling and the fire warning about her tragedy.

Is hard to understand, I know it. But thank you for checking anyway <3

Eu fiz um livro ilustrado sobre Orfeu e Eurídice, um antigo mito grego.

Aqui lhes apresento a segunda página em Português.

Tive muitas dificuldades com essa arte. Os valores e a sensação da sena estavam errados. Porém, após algumas alterações, fiquei feliz com o resultado.

Olhe! É a Eurídice depois de morrer pela picada de uma serpente.

Eu amo a composição do leito de pedra atrás dela e a associação medieval. O sentimento etéreo e o fogo algourando a tragédia dela.

É difícil de entender, eu sei. Muito obrigada por olhar de qualquer jeito <3

note : Suikoden 水滸伝  "Le Récit des berges", (chinois Shuǐhǔ Zhuàn 水滸傳 ) est un roman d'aventures tiré de la tradition orale chinoise, compilé et écrit par plusieurs auteurs, mais attribué généralement à Shi Nai'an 施耐庵 (1296?-1371?). Il relate les exploits de cent huit bandits, révoltés contre la corruption du gouvernement et des hauts fonctionnaires de la cour de l'empereur. Ce roman fait partie des quatre grands romans classiques de la littérature chinoise (1). fond historique : Song Jiang, le chef des bandits, est un personnage historique, chef d'une rébellion sous le règne des Song, à la fin du règne de Hui Zong. Il réussit notamment à s'emparer de la capitale orientale (Bian-Liang) et de la province de He Bei. Les troupes de l'empereur mirent des années à le vaincre. Apparition de la légende : Song Jiang et ses lieutenants devinrent très populaires et leurs exploits furent repris et enjolivés par la tradition orale à partir de la dynastie des Song du Sud (XIIe et XIIIe siècle). Des traces littéraires écrites des prémices de la légende ont été retrouvés dans Propos d'un vieil ivrogne de Luo Ye, puis dans une Apologie de Song Jiang et de ses trente-cinq compagnons. Les bases du roman commencent à être constituée au début de la dynastie mongole des Yuan, avec les Faits négligés de l'ère Xuan-he. La légende se précise et s'enrichit lors de cette dynastie, notamment sous l'essor du théâtre-opéra.
