Brainstorm Blog #1

My initial thoughts went to the psychedelic style imagery that I enjoy, and slowly began being added to a personal shortcoming of mine, and that is expressing myself, and my own mind, as I tend to be very reserved and quiet, except for specific situations. I then remembered some of Sillvi’s artwork, on mental illnesses represented as monsters, as pictured below, either from experiencing them myself, or knowing people who live with them, wanting to represent my own mental struggles similarly, in my zine.

So, my primary Idea for the zine as of now is to make an 8-page zine, with a segment of a brain as the background image with each page labeled with an aspect of my own mind, starting off with the more positive aspects on the front end, and progressing to reveal those more negative aspects, representing the more positive aspects as something like what what shown in the zine examples.
