Title: CATHA. Earlier this year I experimented with oil pastels and I really enjoyed it! I love the texture. I love how I can still fix it when I mess up - most of the times. This is one of the pieces I created using oil pastel. If you want to buy this original piece, you can go to @gallerynucleus website and type my name in the search box.

“What is The Wall of Awful? The Wall of Awful is the emotional barrier that grows out of repeated failure, preventing us from taking risks and initiating tasks.” - @howtoadhd The past couple of years were very unusual for me as an artist and creator. Not only unusual but also really terrible. It was a shit show. But with that shit show I was forced to discover a whole lot of stuff about myself and how my brain works. It’s been challenging. It’s been wonderful. But mostly exhausting, physically and emotionally and mentally. Present me is tired. What used to come relatively easy is now taking so much more effort and energy that I’m not sure how much more of this I can handle. I don’t know exactly what robbed me of the passion I had for drawing. I still haven’t figured out what exactly brought me to this place. How I hit the point of burning out so badly that still had not recovered fully. But what I do know is that I’m tired of feeling this way. I’m tired of being tired. I’m sick of not being able to do stuff. I’ve been investing a big part of my energy in building habits. Because resolutions don’t work for me. I made a habit tracker (Patreon supporters can download the template!) to keep me motivated and accountable. But habits come with repetition. And repetition demands executive function. The second and third slides of this post are screenshots of my December and January newsletters. The second slide is my intention for the new year. The third one is when I talk about building habits. You can sign up for my newsletters on my website (daniellepioli.com) Present me will climb the wall of awful. All of them walls. She’ll get on the other side shimmering. She’ll grow. She’ll learn hard lessons. But ultimately, she’ll be healthy again. Balanced. I’m arming myself with knowledge, intention, good habits with the right motivations for me, strategies, and compassion. You can learn more about the wall of awful on @howtoadhd youtube channel. Her content is super helpful to anyone experiencing any adhd-related symptoms (?) and characteristics. Welcome, 2023.✨ Have a great year everyone! ⭐️ #resolutions #habits #buildinghabits #habittracker #daniellepioli https://www.instagram.com/p/CnAdqmDPLG9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Intrusive clouds bringing intrusive thoughts. Most of my intrusive thoughts are visual imagination of something bad happening, like, me suddenly jumping out the window or hitting my head real hard somewhere. But for the sake of this comic, the cloud brought a verbal version of the thought instead of a visual one - thank god! Do you have intrusive thoughts?? . . . [Image Description: One panel comic showing main character chopping a carrot, and a cloud above her speaking to her. Speech bubble reads: “You should chop off your finger”. Main character has a confused and disgusted look on her face, the word “what?” Is written next to her. Second thought bubble speech coming from the cloud reads: “Do it!”] . . . #comicstrip #webcomics #webcomic #sliceoflife #intrusivethoughts #intrusiveclouds #clouds #daniellepioli https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3Hgyzgmqm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I do not think there’s much to say here. Sometimes it’s hard to be on this planet. . . .

Please send help, or a black hole.”] . . . #ComicStrips #SliceOfLife #WeAreTired #DaniellePioli #Nihilism . https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCQomDPDcn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you signed up for me monthly letters, you know I’ve been living with pain for the past 2 years. I’ve gotten used to it. But sometimes it feels like my arm is just quitting on me. . . PS: I have few tendon issues, the real problem is nerves. . . #comicstrip #artistspotlight #artistproblems #artistslife #daniellepioli #tirinha #quadrinho #webcomics https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg2fT3NgvhW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🛑Please take a minute to read this post🛑 When I first started making comics, this one came up pretty soon. I think searching for ideas for comics actually means taking notes all day long of things that happen, things you feel, things you think about. If you leave it for later, it will completely dissipate into your mundane life. . I would love to go back to making comics. But for some reason I feel so paralyzed when it comes to ideas. I feel like if I’m doing it again, I’m gonna have to create some ground rules for myself. And continue to take notes. . I’ve so distant and disconnected from this account (from instagram in general actually) that I don’t know anymore what you guys want to see here. Or even if you guys are in fact still here or just unfollowing away. . I hope I get this connection with you back. The app might suck at this point in time, but I haven’t deleted my account because of you. Not meta group. YOU. . So if you’re still around and you still want to receive stuff from me, please engage with my posts. It is how the algorithm works. If you don’t engage, you stop receiving my posts and I end up not posting as much - cause it hurts to create stuff that reaches no one. It hurts real bad. . . . . [Image Description: Comic page entitled “The Awful Time Of Ideas”, it shows the main character having an idea (which is a light bulb) while sitting in the toilet, she keeps that light bulb on while flushing the toilet, washing her hands, and when she finally sits at her desk to work on that idea, the light bulb goes off and she forgets what the idea was.] . . . . #AccessibleArt #ComicStripArt #ComicStrips #ComicsArt #WebComicsOfInstagram #DaniellePioli #Ideas #CreativityStruggles #ArtistStruggles #CreativityMatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CZUDKMmLEgq/?utm_medium=tumblr
