Anxiety Has Ears - Artist: Juliette Venter, South Africa.

It listens to everything — the silence between words, the hesitation in a voice, the footsteps disappearing down a corridor. It hears danger in ordinary sounds and catastrophe in the quietest moments.
It is always listening for something that might go wrong.
The Scrub Hare in this painting is anxiety made flesh: elongated, alert, and unnaturally attentive. Its enormous ears represent a mind that cannot switch itself off — constantly scanning, interpreting, anticipating. The fractured world surrounding it reflects the internal landscape of someone who has forgotten what it feels like to simply exist without expecting the next threat.

Scanned 8 of my drawings, got a poster printed out, and gave it away to a girl I've never met before (read below for the story)

I went to a nearby Barnes & Noble, walked up to a girl I've never met before, and asked her if she wanted free art, and she took it. She said, "Wow, the colors are so nice; I think I'll take it. Thank you!" I didn't even take her contact or Instagram. Somehow, it felt cool that someone I have no connection to felt some joy because of my art, and that it's gonna end up somewhere I don't know. :)

SalviaDroid - Rope of Doubt [TW: Suicide]

SalviaDroid has a lot of really well-made artwork but has since disappeared from the internet. I felt like this should find it's home here.
