It's somewhat easy and very difficult to describe Grace's art style. At first glance it's very simple: rough outlines, primitive coloring with a marker or something similar, some insights here and there. But on the other hand, the simplicity reveals the complexity of a person's life, the discoveries they make, as well as the absurdity and the difficulty with which one treads through their everyday existence.
Though the range of forms and themes through which the artist conveys her message is extremely diverse, there are three main types that can be seen here today. The first and the most eye-catching are her illustrations that mix common household items and grocery product designs with some existentially charged thoughts, like "why do we have to suffer?," etc. These are my personal favorites. Another type of illustration that she likes to use is a sort of a list where she offers some solutions to a simple "how to" problem, or gives some alternatives for a certain behavior. And last but not least, there are some comic strip style illustrations that are sometimes done with seemingly unrelated freely associated images, like a sort of visual poetry.
If you've fallen in love with the author's work, she has plenty more to offer. For example, she successfully published a book called "How to deal: with fear, failure, and other daily dreads." The title is pretty self-descriptive, and we recommend you check it out. If you love her artwork, she has something in store for you, quite literally. So check out her store here for some cool and beautifully illustrated merch. And as always, support the artist by following her on her social media!
If you'd like to see more similar posts, there's more coming your way. Liana Finck's illustrations, though unique in her own way, talk about very similar issues that Grace Miceli touches upon. Giulia J. Rosa gives a more combative stance while talking about the issues that women have to face today, and shares an even more critical outlook on life. And if you want to see the everyday existence of an artist, but from a completely different perspective, here are some drawings made by Annada Menon.
