I am an artist who works to give mental health awareness a voice as I portray various mental and social issues through little doodles of stickmen in an ongoing project called the Stickmen’s Series.
I spend a lot of time alone with my art and have gradually learned how to express my emotions through rough, hastily drawn doodles of stickmen.
I scribble down a stickman or two whenever I experience strong emotions, ideas, and/or thoughts, and it goes from there as I transform the tangles and knots in my head into tangible visuals. Nothing helps me help myself more than these little doodles do, and I am grateful to this day for deciding to put them to paper and give them life.
Art was once my only friend, and art is now my best friend. And now, I am ready to show my friend to the world.

Don’t slip; you’ll fall and lose it all.”

#6 Rain
Rain, rain, fall on me;
help me grow into a tree.
Beauty’s often born from pain
so let it rain, let it rain.
#7 Creep
That moment when you close your eyes
is when they start to creep and rise.
When you try to wake, you’ll find
they don’t just live inside your mind.
#8 Morality, Mortality
“Tick tock” sings the clock;
when will your time come to stop?
Days are numbered so act fast
and know this: you aren’t your past.

“Let me…”
“Please don’t…”
“…go.”
#10 Cage
“Lock me
in your gilded cage.
Free me,
let me turn the page.”
#11 Smile
Slap on the smile
and hold it tight.
Don’t let the tears
fall into sight.
For if they do,
remember this:
they’ll all judge you
for your weakness.

Take to the sky
defy fear and try
to spread those wings
and dare to fly.

the simpler days;
back to a place where
my innocence lays.”

Keep the masses entertained;
now’s your time to be the star.

“Let me out.”
#18 Create
“I will create the cure that will recreate me.”
#19 Dare
“Watch them rise into the air.

That there is the reason you
fail to fly the way they do.”

Step 3: Rinse and repeat.

Take the pill and hang on tight;
soon it will all be alright.
