About the work

Friendly Reminders was a 6 part illustration series that's super close to my heart because of how I managed to use them as a "visual journalling" coping mechanism whenever things got too hard. The procreate drawings (or doodles) play with different texture swatches representing the overwhelming amount of emotions that a person could feel at any given point of time. The idea was to make these different emotions be laid out in an organised way to show that we can "hold it together" when necessary paired with simple (yet moderately impactful) reminders for the person seeing them. They're definitely something I know people mutter to themselves on a daily basis too just to get through a difficult task or period.
