Devious Journal Entry

Fri Jan 8, 2010, 9:55 PM
Hi, recently trough RebBubble I found out about an interesting project, an artist called Karin Taylor is writing a blog in which she features artist that fight depression trough drawing, also she'll post related topics, but instead of confusing you with this lousy explanation, I'll just post here the original text she wrote about it:

Aloha!......

just launched a NEW BLOG justdrawing this week ! I’m currently on the lookout for artists who draw and find drawing assists them with relief from depression, anxiety, mental or physical illness. stress or tension…. would love to hear from you…...I am featuring one artist per week on a Wednesday (Australian time)...

I currently have the a total of 5 willing artists, and 1 already featured…. I’m looking for enough artists to fill up my calendar for the 2010 year. I’ll need to find another 45 artists who’d be happy to answer my 3 questions please email justdrawing@exemail.com.au if you’d be interested in a feature on my blog! I wish to promote other artists and seek to post articles to the blog which may be of therapeutic value and assistance from my research on the topic drawing for therapy/art therapy.

If you are a professional health worker, and you have some experience or expertise in the area of art therapy or drawing for therapy, i would be very interested to hear from you and any contributions you might be able to make to the blog.

So, how does this work.??.... see below

The Three Questions

Love drawing? Have depression or another illness? Find drawing helps? We’d love to hear from you!

Just email the answers below to justdrawing@exemail.com.au with a link to your drawings and there’s every chance we’ll be featuring you sometime in the not too distant future!

1. Why do you love drawing?
2. Has drawing helped to relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress or illness?
3. Where is your favourite drawing place?

I’m excited to be adding my drawings here also as often as I can and hoping to hear from you, let’s encourage each other!

I like to think of my style as pretty clean and contemporary, most of the time I took pictures of buildings but I have also other kind of photos, even some nature ones, but most of the time are urban themes. As for now (never say never) what I don't do is portraits, in fact you won't see people on my photography as I like to focus on the place and/or the object and what this one can express for itself.
