Graphic Journal Russian Roulette

I woke up at 4am today while I was dying of fear (or anxiety, which is quite the same)

and started turning in my bed in discomfort and back pain (and a dog and a love taking all the space •)

my top surgery is in less than one month and I have anxiety in how will I manage of keeping STRANGELAND/household/personal/work economics up while don’t working for one whole month ( paying almost 4K medical bills ????)

I spent 20 minutes trying to fall back to sleep again and again and then I decided to effing get up.

So I made instant coffee, I Graphic Journal a little and then – after feeling a little bit relieved- I went to work on the final revision for my next book (out in Italy in March for Oblomov ????) and Realized that Graphic Journaling is my foundation of peace and creativity.

when I want to draw and feel my life I turn to my Graphic Journaling practice and it’s comforting in the moment but also useful when I need to gather informations for future works (books or tattoo for me)

maybe you too are awake in anxiety and were looking for some way to gather your energy of center yourself in a place of self love and, maybe , graphic journaling is a good way to do it (even if drawing is not your job).

honestly, even if you don’t draw… we’ll, EXPECIALLY if you don’t feel entitled of drawing or calling yourself an artist! You don’t have to believe me, you can try for yourself.

how?

Here’s how:

I thought of doing a Russian Roulette on my YouTube channel and sending you a free Graphic Journaling class to end the week smoothly (as smooth as my voice and skin IN THIS VIDEO since this is a 2020 video and I was on testosterone for just like 2 months OMG ????️•⚧️)

I didn’t chose the topic, I just let my finger run and stop randomly, I don’t even remember this class so it’s all a surprise for you AND me:

How to start?

carve yourself 1h30/2h time. Maybe early morning when you can’t sleep or maybe during lunch break. (Or maybe you can skip the gym ???? just joking, gym is important )

then take your fave journal/sketchbook/notebook & pens

get comfy and press play.

the rest is going to unfold.

And of course if you want more you can always go to my subscription based classes:

And don’t forget to post the results on the free Facebook group: Graphic Journaling Club ????

And before we say goodbye, later on the day O handmade 2 new tishirt
