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.”
Why I Create: Another Mother
#mentalinkness community member Another Mother discusses the inspiration behind her mental health art
Bipolar Hospital Stay
“I drew a version of this during my stay in a mental hospital last year, to show the two adversarial sides of my disorder.”
MISSING
“When you have mental health issues, it can often feel like your mind is missing in action.”
‘Mare Bears
“Mental illnesses and neurodiverse conditions might not always be cute and cuddly, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t picture them that way!”
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!”
Mentally ill
“Mentally ill but with some added sparkle.”
Pillza
“When you’re mentally ill, sometimes it feels like your life revolves around pills. This is a tongue-in-cheek idea about favourite pizza toppings.”
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!”
