This piece is part of a series of disgruntled animal portraits & quotes that people insensitively say to people who struggle with chronic & mental illness. This art represents a criticism of ineffective social behavior.

Working on a fun idea while I give the darkness space to exist.

Or the generalized "things will get better" even. It's always fun to hear that everyone is a psychic.

Illustration of myself sitting at a table while on the phone with an insensitive Doctor asking "Have you tried eliminating stress from your life?" On the table is a can of cola zero, a paper listing dietary restrictions, a mug of coffee, and four bottles of medicine. To my sides are a cat trying to get my attention and a television featuring the news reporting another deadly ICE raid. Behind me is a calendar with most of the days X'd out, a list of bills, a list of things I need to do, and a list of commissions that I need to finish. Outside of the viewing area one of my kids is yelling "Dad!!!".

I didn't get as far as I would have liked last night due to an ear infection and high blood pressure. All in all, though, it's looking snazzy.
