2021 was not good for my mental health. Still unsure of myself after a nasty breakup, I struggled to find internal motivation to create. The majority of my works from 2021 came from Art Fight; as a tradition and habit I’ve participated in since 2018, convincing myself to draw kids’ characters for this one-month challenge felt much less like a struggle, although I did feel burnt out by the end. Regardless, I did my best to use external events to power through, and the fatigue eventually began to wind down in time for 2022.
