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

the bookmark is full of waterry shoreline art. Grey-blue with periwinkle and green shapes and white seafoam cover the human and background, washing ashore at the bottom of the bookmark. The white foam makes the shape of a human with an oversized graphic hear shape. The heart has no waves or currents, it is still.

Symptom: the repeated retractions of hope. Hope comes in like a wave, leaves dry.

Also, the HERALBONY Art prize exhibit is on for the next few days, and they have a virtual tour/viewing available. One of my pieces is a finalist and on display. Please check it out !

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!
