Hostage

The ABC Chronicles

Honestly, I’ve been working so hard that I completely forgot about The ABC Chronicles. So, here I am… with the word Hostage.

This illustration is a mix of fun experimentation and the feeling that my mind is being kidnapped by academia. There I am on the right, clinging to it desperately, willing to pay the ransom… but my creative self is caged inside the curriculum, dying to get out.

It reminds me of my previous talks about my shadowy selves. I’m not sure if anyone else has ever experienced this, but “academic” and “scholarly” talk is SO not me. It’s no wonder people experience Imposter Syndrome… which I will tackle in my next letter!

Anyway, this illustration was cathartic. It was a form of rebellion for me, and I actually watched a tutorial and learned how to make spheres. It was a win-win!

That’s about all for now. I’ll be back again soon to tackle my “I” word. Until next time – peace and love!

And thanks for looking!
