Shruti Singh, amongst many designers and illustrators, created project is themed around Covid19. Her series of self-portraits reflects an expression of feelings and thoughts that crossed her mind during this critical time. It is a very challenging time, mentally and physically. These portraits are an expression of the changing times and the emotional toll it is taking on our minds. Like Shruti, I have been going through ups and downs. Anxiety is always a by-product and it’s important for us to find ways to express the feeling. It’s said that once you verbalize/vocalize a negative feeling, your brain automatically reduces its strength, in other words, if your sad, and you say your sad, you become a little bit less sad.
Each portrait is illustrative in nature and expresses an emotion I felt at that moment. The illustrations are a reflection of my style of art, which is primarily bold, vibrant, and stark.

I love a good set of illustrations, even more when there's attention to details, and in Atey Ghailan's work I've found mesmerizing lighting. He really pays a lot of attention to every to the lightning in every scene, and it's just fantastic.
Eugene Zubkov and Lena Terkunova shared some incredible illustration and digital art work on their Behance profile.
I don't think I have ever shared a project for Facebook Stories yet, here's to the very first!
Melting liquids like the Terminator 2 killer android is something that will forever inspire me. The work that TAVO put together for their first solo exhibit in Chile features this effect along with impossible geometries and a beautiful 80s color palette.
