Applerot

“People like the idea of me in theory, but not in practice. They like that I can provide support, and I focus wholly on them when I idolise them.”

Jar of Dreams

“My first image for Mental Inkness relates to the feelings I have being stuck indoors with acute levels of agoraphobia for nearly a year. It rains medication at home, controlling both my pain and mental health and keeping me going indoors.”

Bipolar Meal

“I designed this after visiting McDonald’s and sitting staring at a happy meal poster. I remembered being little and the excitement of getting a happy meal and seeing what toy I got. I decided to design a meal for bipolar and started to imagine what would go in it when I started to draw it when I got home. I tried to include all of the most common symptoms associated with the disorder into the meal and gave it a design and colour scheme to match!”

Smiley/Frowny

“These butterflies show at a basic level the difference between depression and mania. One is smiley, the other is frowny; a very simplistic view of things but it works!”
