Drown Your Demons

9" x 12" print on 80lb Gloss paper

Medium: Water color markers

Recently I was thinking of all the little demons that try to convince us they’re permanent. And every time I sit down to make something, I notice the same thing happening in my work:
joy keeps winning.
Not the fluffy kind. The feral kind. The kind that kicks the door in with muddy boots and says, “Actually, we’re doing this my way.”
There’s a theme running through everything I’ve been creating:
good doesn’t whisper — it floods.
It drowns the demons. It overwhelms the darkness. It shows up uninvited and refuses to leave quietly.
This new piece of Art is part of that ongoing story. It's Messy, bright, and a little rebellions. Choosing joy isn’t naïve — it’s defiant. It’s strategic. It’s survival.
If you’ve been feeling the weight lately, I hope this piece serves as a reminder that your joy is not small. It’s not fragile. It’s contagious.
It’s a force to be reckoned with.
And in my studio, at least, it’s winning.
