Welcome!!! X My Story


A HUGEEE welcome to the blog!!! You can follow my blog with Bloglovin

I'm back ,  doing BITS once more! 

I've been gone for over a year and deleted all social media for various reasons but I've recently decided to start this blog which i'm super excited about. I've still been making art but experimenting and exploring alternative routes and methods by going back to basics, along with educating myself on topics somewhat relevant to this blog; I believe everything happens for a reason and although I spent 2 and a half years on Instagram, the time wasn't wasted it taught me A LOT! I'm grateful for the journey but a new one has started now; One filled with alternative thinking and I don't agree with past me *new age spirituality is fucking dangerous!!! "fell down a rabbit hole and came out with a bang likeee..." it's a song lyric lol true though* so anyways, a lot of the content was irrelevant not to mention possibly harmful or triggering for others; a new approach was necessary. 

I intend to cover on this blog Art, Mental Health and Beauty, for those that don't know i'm a qualified Fashion, Theatrical and Media, Hair and Makeup Artist. You can find most of my artwork (2019-2022) on Pinterest, all my early work 2018/2019 is on Redbubble and i'll be recording my journey on this blog for everything so far and everything to come in the future. 

If you're new to me/my work well, i am an intuitive (speed painting/drawing) artist that focuses on doing it for the process not the outcome, they're cosmic themed illustrations that are abstract and also expressive of emotions/thoughts - it's a therapeutic way of managing my mental health through the art making process; i'm using colours to represent emotions and as someone once said to me, "you're representing life, death and creativity all in one". 

I'm now on medication for my mental health something I never thought i'd do but it's levelled me out ma dude, I still struggle but not like before...the artwork has been a journey to say the least but they're finally calm n peaceful looking so yano inner peace is being resolved = healing. 

Till next time,

Crawford&Black - 36 Colouring Pencils X Review

Image
  I needed some new colouring pencils and The Works had a sale on so I managed to get some Crawford&Black colouring pencils for £3 which I didn't think was bad for 36 colours and a sharpener. I've only tried their sketchbooks which I really like the quality of, for the price they're amazing and was interested to try their other products.   I did a swatch for you below, the colours are in the order that they are in the packaging; not in rainbow colour order but an order of cools and warms which I quite liked as it's different. Not all brands have a good cool to warm ratio and I think the colour selection is great. The packaging doesn't have any names on them but I don't really mind since there's a colour order to them.  The consistency is kinda hard at first and the colour pay off is nice on some colours; I didn't press on that hard for the swatches in hind sight I probably should have but I wanted to see what they're like naturally without pressu

Habits To Combat Anxiety, Depression and Low Self-Esteem X Mental Health Monday

Image
Happiness isn't a permanent state remember life's like a heart beat it goes up and down and without the downs can't appreciate the ups, so being all sunshine and rainbows is actually toxic positivity which is super unhealthy and unhelpful for combating anxiety/depression but you can strive for feeling content and fulfilled with your life; which in turn provides real happiness, healthy positivity and improves your self- esteem. Accept that some things you cannot control but you can control how you react in how much you let it affect you, sometimes no amount of worrying or anxiety can improve, fix or change situations - infact you can actually make things worse as what you think you attract and all that jazz, you just gotta ride it out wait for better days to come man.  "Prevention is the best medicine" and that's exactly what CBT teaches you, if you don't know what CBT is then you can read my previous post on the topic  here .  It's normal not to be per

Live For The Moment X Mental Health Monday

Image
If my psychotic episode taught me anything, it'd be to live for the now - don't take tomorrow for granted because life really could be over sooner than you imagined. I'm healing and can see things clearer now but it wasn't this way for about 8 months, I really did think life could be over at any given hour to come. I'm not going into details about the psychotic episode I've probably said too much already, but there are things that have changed as a result of it; like living for today, making the most out of life and being grateful for the little things. See my psychotic episode forced me to give up for a while on absolutely everything in life and my mindset may not have been perfect but since beginning to heal I've learnt that living for the moment certainly has it's benefits. I've achieved so much in the past 6 months it's unreal the difference it's made having this mindset shift from leaving everything till tomorrow to just getting shit don
