I created 9 dragonfly mixed media artworks last year as gifts for friends. I created cards with the designs.
Acrylics, decoupage papers and tissues, gold pens, beads.

It feels incredible painting again after nearly a year break! I feel like myself again. I worked hard to get here and I hope to truly make art a habit!

A zombie waves a green flag with intensity, holding a sword in the other hand. The green flag represents Mental Health Awareness, with a background of swirling green to symbolize the energy of the cause. The zombie wears a red shirt, blue pants, and has green skin. Original illustration by M.A. Brotherton (TacoVikingStudios).

I can relate, little skeleton.
