![]() My brain kicked in and I thought I’d head to Honey Cafe in Bronllys. However, I just couldn’t bring myself to stop there. I’d passed a nice-looking one called the Wye Knot. So, I thought I’d drive back and see if I could find the courage to stop at a cafe on the way. The anxiety I feel about getting myself turned-about and lost and not able to find my way back to the car just adds to the vulnerability. When I’m feeling the way I was it’s all too easy for me to panic and enter flight-mode when I’m overwhelmed by noise or an unfamiliar place. This is, however, a small price to pay for giving people food for thought and getting people talking about mental illness.Īs I was feeling so emotional after the talk I didn’t take a walk around Llandridnod Wells. Telling my story of cPTSD still leaves me emotionally exhausted and vulnerable. I went there to give an antistigma talk as a champion for Time to Change Wales. My trip to Llandridnod Wells yesterday left me exhausted. I am, however, still a little tired to say the least. I’m feeling fairly content and quite optimistic. It’s always interesting how just small changes can make such a big difference to artwork. A Microsoft Surface Pen and Surface Studio along with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro were used to complete the colouring I used Affinity Publisher to produce the typography. The line art was drawn using Tombow Fudenosuke and Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pens on paper, but the colouring, textures and text have been added digitally. I used a grungy texture overlay to enhance the vintage feel of the coloured design. I decided to use flat colours as it brings a feeling of a coloured wood cut or lino cut print to the design. ![]() ![]() This is the same illustration I used for yesterday’s quote, however, after adding some textural lines to the drawing, I’ve coloured the design.
