Covid love.
With the advent of mask wearing, our communication has become little more than eye movements and eyebrow raising. #hellosineight #mouthless #theeyeshaveit #draw #watercolour #wip #workinprogress #experiment #experimentalillustration #darkart #bleedingpaint

Mental health can be a twat
and these are a few of the faces it puts on sometimes.

[Wayne Barker @drawbarksdraw]

If you look back too long, it will stare back.
This was the first in the series exploring the visualisation of mental health. This is not only a personal journey but also a delve into the masks we wear both physically and emotionally. #darkillustration #figurativeart #darkart

[Wayne Barker @drawbarksdraw]

Continuing my exploration into visualising mental wellness. #darkart #illustration
