I started doodling again. It’s been a long time. I had hyperemesis during my pregnancy and now I’m in lockdown with a baby!
I wanted to express how isolation felt. I felt isolated while ill and pregnant, I feel isolated because of my chronic pain, fibromyalgia and ME a whole lot and now we’re all isolated...
I decided to only draw Isolation Monster while my fibro flares and my pain is at its peak, a raw feeling that is expressed on paper with pen and ink. Now that we’re stripped back to essentials: essential travel, essential food etc; I chose to use only ink and step away from my usual digital illustration, painting and colour!
Isolation Monster is dark but really cute.
Isolation Monster lives in us all!
