I am an artist who works to give mental health awareness a voice as I portray various mental and social issues through little doodles of stickmen in an ongoing project called the Stickmen's Series.
I spend a lot of time alone with my art and have gradually learned how to express my emotions through rough, hastily drawn doodles of stickmen.
I scribble down a stickman or two whenever I experience strong emotions, ideas, and/or thoughts, and it goes from there as I transform the tangles and knots in my head into tangible visuals. Nothing helps me help myself more than these little doodles do, and I am grateful to this day for deciding to put them to paper and give them life.
Art was once my only friend, and art is now my best friend. And now, I am ready to show my friend to the world.

Tug Of War
Balance
"Don't trip or crawl; stay standing tall.
Don't slip; you'll fall and lose it all."
Reach
Parasite
Release
Rain
Rain, rain, fall on me;
help me grow into a tree.
Beauty's often born from pain
so let it rain, let it rain.
Creep
That moment when you close your eyes
is when they start to creep and rise.
When you try to wake, you'll find
they don't just live inside your mind.
Morality, Mortality
"Tick tock" sings the clock;
when will your time come to stop?
Days are numbered so act fast
and know this: you aren't your past.
Tethered
"Let me..."
"Please don't..."
"...go."
All of your artworks are stunning. Every one that ive seen has induced a beautiful pain is the best way i can describe the feeling. Ty.
Smile
Slap on the smile
and hold it tight.
Don't let the tears
fall into sight.
For if they do,
remember this:
they'll all judge you
for your weakness.
Rise
Take to the sky
defy fear and try
to spread those wings
and dare to fly.
Fly
"I wish to fly back to
the simpler days;
back to a place where
my innocence lays."
Drain
Performance
Keep the masses entertained;
now's your time to be the star.
Show us how well you've been trained
to be the puppet that you are.
Reflection
The artist paints a picture, a window to his soul.
Gaze into his mirror; it reflects what makes him whole.
Shut-in
"Let me in."
"Let me out."
Dare
"Watch them rise into the air.
Try it? No, I wouldn't dare.
That there is the reason you
fail to fly the way they do."
Spill
Instructions.
Step 1: Let guilt fill up;
Step 2: Let guilt spill out;
Step 3: Rinse and repeat.
New
Aripiprazole
Flipping highs and slipping lows,
when will it end? No one knows.
Take the pill and hang on tight;
soon it will all be alright.
Wonderful illustrations of dark places brought into a familiar, warm light
