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

Outline of a human printed on a creme outfit "Coordination" bookmark, annotated with inks. The tops of the thighs are speckled with lots of purple dots, almost like a pox. The face and left shoulder have the same purple dots. They're especially strong on the cheeks. Parts of the head including forehead and ears are marked light light blue, almost like swelling. Two large heavy pale blue lines come down from where the nose would be into the top of the torso, almost horribly long mucuous threads

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!
