As somebody who has/had super anxiety like your describing I’ll tell you what i did. It happened at work one day and almost blacked out from how hard it hit and left work for the day. I went to therapist and got on medication, therapist was too expensive so i stopped going (plus therapist didn’t help) but my doctor can now continue my meds. I used meds everyday for about 5 years and than slowly weened myself off it over about 4 years. During that whole time i never attended concerts, family get togethers, sports games, etc. i am now pill free for the most part. I only take a pill when i know im going to have some heavy stress coming up (surgery or long drives) but my best advice for him is to find a mental state that he can be relaxed at and learn to always be in that state, for me its almost a bored or accept fate kind of state (like just accept whatever the situation might lead into) and he needs to learn to control it. I now attend concerts with my wife, take the family to movies. He don’t need to always be in that state but if he feels his anxiety rising just take a step out for a moment and learn to relax and get to that state, once he does he can return and get back to having fun and enjoying life. I do smoke weed, but it does NOT help, smoking weed can sometimes cause my anxiety to rise, so if anybody tells him to just smoke weed they are completely wrong. He needs to find a way to relax at will. Meds will help but they are not the cure but for sure get him on meds. Again it’s a state of mind and we all can get lost in the moment of whatever we are doing and having the ability to relax at will is the greatest advice i can give you. My wife also had anxiety(not as bad as mine) but this has helped her loads. Remember it takes time. It’s been almost 10 years since my first attack and i still get them in high stress situations. Btw ive been off my meds for about 2-3 years i only take 3 or 4 a year when needed if i know a high stress situation is coming up.
Sharpie does a felt tip that’s similar in feel to its ultra fine pens but are acid free archival quality and don’t dry out nearly as fast. I switched to these and prefer them to the sharpie ultra fine now as they don’t bleed through my pages either
Before I read this comment I was thinking how this had a strong 2000's style and specifically reminded me of MSI. Forgot that song existed. Art's rad af tho.
The material is burlap. You can buy that, and the zipper, from a craft store like Jo-Ann's for pretty cheap. To me it looks like it was made as if it were paper mache. With multiple layers of a material being soaked, form fitted to a face or mannequin head, and dried.
Nice job. Majora’s mask was the best.
Is the file as available? Just wondering.
Great job. I remember how excited i was back in the day about that. Congrats
That’s sick. Great job
I relate to this so much.
Is that the Bassnectar logo in the back?
No. Never even heard of it before. I drew this back in 2001
Golden Corral should have one.
