It's All In Your Head Visual Guide
"Back in 2016 I wanted my artwork to have more substance to it, more emotion. I decided to research and study various mental illnesses and noticed there wasn't much out there in terms of art that really showed how it can feel for so many of us. I went on to create 32 different raw and unapologetic art pieces of various mental health disorders and opened up pandora's box on what the monsters can really look like. I continued building the series as the years have gone by and have become an advocate for all who struggle with their mental health. Because we are not alone in this. " - Shawn Coss (Author/Artist)
