Sharing the work of (mainly) artists who lit me up. Occasionally not so nice people who were talented. Not necessarily an endorsement beyond the work.
These are brilliantly pure and warm. Some of these came very close to home for me, hopefully you will find something valuable too! Here’s her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guadascribbles/?hl=en
Let it go,
Let it out,
Let it all unravel,
Let it free
And it will be
A path on which to travel.

This artist ( pina@adhd-alien.com ) does the best job I have ever seen of communicating what ADHD really is, and is like. We baffle and disappoint ourselves and the people and structures we need in our lives. Every hour of the day is a neurological roulette wheel. Here’s a link to her site.
I would be grateful to anyone who casually imagines they know what ADHD is like, to read several of these. I would simply like as many people as possible to better understand this disorder. It’s weirder and more limiting than you think.
It’s WAY more than inattention, and let me tell you, it isn’t lack of effort. We are 11% of the population and stories of effective treatment have been greatly exaggerated. The person in these cartoons is ON her meds.
Friends, family, and even total strangers confidently inform us that our problem isn’t real. Everybody thinks they get it, and even professionals in education and mental health often lazily ASSUME they get it with no research since 1993.
It’s like mental multiple sclerosis but we just look like we’re ditzy, and not trying hard enough.

This isn’t mine. I’m trying to find out who made it. It’s a wonderful happy celebration of nudity, animation and the work of animation, swimming and Summer its own self.
Nsfw in a cheeky, cheerful innocent-ish sort of way.
