this is what long covid feels like [CW: body horror illustration, occasional art nudity]

Silhouette of a figure printed on a manilla creme outfit "Coordination" bookmark. The figure is colored with purple and hot pink. Two large hot pink spikes are drawn coming out of the figure's nose, with arrows implying they have been shoved up there, and will continue that trajectory thoughoht the skull. Also in hot pink is the throat, and the area surrounding the left eye. The purple areas are geometric and colored in, representing deeper (less sharp) feeling pain like muscle, extensor, and GI tract cramping.

Support my Health & Art!

Healthcare in the USA is expensive. If you are able, please support me on ko-fi, or share my ko-fi & art with others. I also use the ko-fi funds to get this art into the world--application fees, materials/framing costs, shipping to & from exhibits, and of course an occasional yummy matcha. Thank you!
