This art is making me sad.
I was staring at Mark’s emoji. It told me to put more shading and include a large shiny tear. I sent him a print of it as appreciation for being a part of my project. Why do I like things that are super depressing?

I’m a writer living in Los Angeles, making emojis of facesĀ I find on Instagram. When I get a moment, I paint portraits on canvases I build from reclaimed wood.
