I made this illustration a few months back, as a return to "making" after a few months of intense burnout. I started a new job that's very demanding/draining, was going through some personal stuff, and just overall was feeling anything but inspired to create. I dont think I'm 100% about this piece, but I am trying to allow myself to just make for the sake of making--and not worry about it being tied to a specific end result. There are a lot of things I do enjoy about this piece-- I enjoy the texture, the overall color theme, the teeny mouse handing out in the bottom left. I think I "played" a lot while making this and sometimes that's all I can ask for. 4/4/24
