Leaving this here as a reminder that amazing things can come from difficult times in life. I just hate that things are actually going quite well for a change (I can't even remember how many originals I've sold recently! 😲💜) but I'm just too exhausted all the time to truly appreciate it, or create more. I feel like such a hypocrite for starting this year off with positivity only to immediately fall into a depressive spiral, but lockdown number 3.... this one hit different. I may have to officially take some time away from creating art since I've been too stubborn to give up yet, despite struggling most of last year too. I hope that everyone else is keeping well, especially my UK folks. Stay strong 💪 We'll get through this eventually 💜 hopefully Boris will fall into a fjord or something. #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #instaart #artistlife #shadowmakerproject #shadowmaker #bebrave #haarmi #ventart #watercolour #watercolourpainting #watercolor #watercolorpainting #ink #inkpainting #demon #satanslittlepony https://www.instagram.com/p/CKehSdnjQlm/?igshid=1qzrfmflngqyz

I don't want to believe it was a whole year since we made these for @apocalypticaofficial D: I felt liking giving up on art before this project, but I sorta promised @eiccatoppinen I would "be brave". That's a motto that never stopped being relevant, and I went on to fall back in love with creativity even more so after the book was made. I've had a productive year and can only hope that next year will be even better! Thank you to everyone involved in this, I couldn't have regained my confidence without you. Especially @larissariveroart, I literally could not have put this together without you <3 #art #artistsoninstagram #shadowmaker #shadowmakerproject #shadowmakertour #apocalyptica #soproud #life #throwbackthursday #tbt
