Hello!
Today's post will be about my art as I have some exciting projects and ideas to share with all of you. As I mentioned before I have multiple chronic health issues, this has, unfortunately, lead to me not being able to work a stable job and live a normal sort of life. It has however connected me to myself in a way I never expected! It's commonly known that art is a creative form of therapy, and it has been a constant support and a reliable source of comfort over the many years of isolation that occurs when you're chronically ill.
I will be creating posts in the future about my chronic health and my other projects like my books and youtube channel that will go into more detail about that, but today I'd like to show you some of my art :)
This love affair began when I was a kid, begging my uncle to teach me how to draw people like him and being the patient man he is, he taught me what he knew and I took that with me into my life, drawing inspiration from the people I met. (Yes the pun was intended there :D )
Through many years of practice, my art has transformed and I now create images and graphic art pieces that I use in my online business Elliott Illustrations. I also have my own art project, illustrating the characters from my novel Eternity and the illustration of my first children's book dedicated to the very special little people in my life. I will create posts in regards to the business and books, but for now, I will end this post with one of my characters you will soon meet when I post my next book excerpt, Litha.
Love Your Guts and I'll see you tomorrow for a post about me and my Chronic diseases.
I love the eyes you draw. So good. Litha is pretty sexy too

Great eye! I tend to doodle eyes when I am bored. They're not as mysterious and filled with foreboding like the one you shared. They're not expressive at all!
