Paradise Blips

Taking you for a ride into the beauty side.

The other day, a very sweet guy commented in one of my posts saying that my art made him so happy and that it must be cool to live inside my head. I was, of course, flattered by the comment, but it made me wonder how sometimes my art gives the wrong impression about who I am.

I want to leave clear that, just because I try to do beautiful, happy, and bright art, that brings peace and positivity to people's hearts, it does not mean that it's only rainbows and unicorns in my head.

I also have a lot of dark rainy days, since I’m a kid actually.

Because I was (and still am) so introverted, I used to live a lot inside my head. So I do this type of artwork and put out a positive message into the world because I also need it :) It helps me remind that despite all the adversity, trauma, and shitty days we may experience, life is still the most precious thing, and it's very worth living.
