Feel Better

Unicorns and rainbows are pretty happy little icons to use in art; as are fairies and "pegasai".  After going through a breakup in 2009, I decided that maybe the best way to fight unhappy thoughts would be to utilize this kind of imagery in combination with texts from my ex as I was going through the break up. My usual methodology in one of these situations would be to lock my self in my studio and draw skulls or something until I could snap out of it; but in this case seizing upon the personal experience and allowing it twist the imagery became quite an attractive juxtaposition for myself.
