Guess whose studio I finally got to hang out in ag

Guess whose studio I finally got to hang out in again?! @ocean_art_naomi !!! So great being back in your creative space Nomes. Yesterday I did my first drive by myself I have done in over a month since being struck down by the horrific internal abscess. It has given me so much courage and inspiration . I’m taking back my life and it feels good. Grateful for all the amazing humans in my life. Things aren’t back to where they were yet but I’m travelling there fast. The little steps are what create the big steps.

Very excited to reveal a commission I created earl

Very excited to reveal a commission I created earlier this year. The one and only @dylanalcott commissioned me to create an artwork for his partner Chantelle, for their anniversary! This is one of their favourite photos- of course it includes their sausage dog Sauce 🐶 Dylan has had a big influence on me for the past several years as I have battled with my disabilities. For him to want something from ME!! was just crazy! Another check off the bucket list- what’s next?! #Able #Disabilities #Disability #DylanAlcott

As you may or may not know I’ve been very sick.

As you may or may not know I’ve been very sick. Thank you to the sweet lady who was very patient while I created this commission piece. This is Venus, Will hopefully be getting this tube out of my arm on Thursday! Wish me luck!

A tribute to a lil dachshund called Eboni-Rose.

A tribute to a lil dachshund called Eboni-Rose. Eboni has sadly passed away and her owner wanted this artwork created to go with her urn. Very special to be trusted to create a piece such as this. Commissions are open if you are interested in something similar.

So I had a procedure this morning that will hopefully propel me even further forward in my life but it’s occurred to me I haven’t actually updated you guys on the progress I already have been making. Last you heard, I was starting to walk short distances but things have progressed... a lot!! For example, my beautiful boyfriend and I went on a bushwalk a couple of weeks ago.... Without a wheelchair. 8 months ago I couldn’t take a single independent step!! Including breaks, we were out in nature for 40 mins wheelchair free. What’s even more exciting is that I climbed up these rocks! Still blows my mind! I still use the chair predominately when I’m out and about due to pain and chronic fatigue but am doing more everyday. For my fellow Sunny coasters, maybe we’ll bump- I mean WALK- into each other. I think this is all pretty cool but still overwhelming at times. Here’s to more progress! Let me know if you like these updates. Also 10 points if you can find me in this photo!

This was actually my first finished work for the year- completed early January. Commissions are open by the way! 💗

Something I never would have created on my own accord without Art School Co. I was challenged to use a single coloured pencil (Prismacolor- Violet Blue) to create this entire drawing. And it’s come up pretty well. Thinking I’ll tinker with this a little more. 🦕🦕🦕 *This was created using another unknown artists work as reference* #art #sunshinecoast #supportlocal #artist #artistlife #lifeofanartist #emergingartist #australianart #artcollective #artnerd #artcomplex #artofdrawingg #artacademy #dailyarts #imaginationarts #art_daily #love_arts_help #drawing #artschoolco #dinosaur #skull #artistsoninstagram #prismacolor #colouredpencil #pencil #sketchbook

Mind is a prison by Alec Benjamin My top song for the year and it sure did help me. I listened to this literally on repeat throughout certain times of the year. It was something I found cathartic and made me feel less alone. I have grown so much this year. More than any year before. I started to walk again. Met some of the most amazing people. Learnt so much. And most importantly, I’m happier. The anxiety still rages and the pain still screams at times but my ability to cope with this all has increased drastically. So I just wanna say thank you to everyone who helped get me here. 2020 wasn’t that bad for me but I know that’s not the case for everyone ...I revamped this sketch I originally created during the course of this year. I love it and I hope you do too. #alecbenjamin #mindisaprison #artistsoninstagram #disabledartist #art #localartist #supportlocal #artist #artistlife #lifeofanartist #australianart #arts_help #sketch_dailydose #arts_moonlight #art_spotlight #artofdrawingg @artofdrawingg #dailyarts #imaginationarts #art_daily @artperspective @art_4share #procreate #mentalillness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthmatters #chronicpain #chronicillness #disabled

I have said I’m working on something exciting and this is it! Imperfect People. A project in which I create imperfect artworks of imperfect people and highlight the beauty of those imperfections. In a way I’m proving to myself that not everything has to be perfect all the time. So some things may be left “unfinished”. They might be rough and sketchy. They might not be precisely realistic. But that’s the point. I’ve become so hung up on perfection. Not necessarily just with my art, but my whole life. I guess you could call this a behavioural experiment to combat that. This will be a printing project. All my creations, digital or on paper, will be created into affordable prints. I want to make my art accessible. I will still be posting updates and art here on Colour of October and doing commissions/custom art through there. This is a sub-project of CoO, which will focus on the peculiarities of us humans whilst creating cool prints you would want hanging on your walls at home. All different sizes. All different shapes. I hope you will follow along this journey with me. You can follow Imperfect People on Facebook ( Imperfect People Art) and Instagram (@imperfectpeopleart ) More creations like this shattered eye (which actually isn’t finished yet) will be coming. AND will be available for sale.
