Light in my Shadow

Here are a few of my own mindful drawings.
Some of these drawings have a lot of meaning.
Some don’t have any at all.
But every single one of them represents retraining my brain and expanding my consciousness.
It doesn’t really matter to me what my finished pictures look like. I’m not here to be a ‘great’ artist – I want my art to be relatable. I want to show you that you can do this too. We ALL can! I’ve drawn so many pieces that look wacky and weird, and are often full of ‘mistakes’ – but so what! Embrace it! Laugh. Love your ‘weird’ because it’s so bloody beautiful and UNIQUE.
And there’s only ONE drawing in the world like it! (isn’t that wild?).

Just do your best ….and let go of the rest.

Remember:
The power of mindful drawing lies in the process – not in the result.
Some of the images below link to a post (I’ve indicated which ones).

Click on the image if you want to read what these drawings mean. Some of them are pretty bloody special to me – like ‘Connectivity’ and ‘Consciousness Expansion’ (I think they might just be my faves…)

All the below images are based on the Fruit of Life template
(geometric building blocks of endless possibilities).

I’ll eventually have a big collection of tutorials based on the Fruit of Life template. Once you get the hang of how to draw the basic template (it’s easy…), you won’t need me for long. You’ll begin to see endless shapes and possibilities for you to explore.  I can show you how to do it right here.

You don’t need ANY skill or experience at all.
I’ll guide you through it.
The drawings below are just a few examples of what can emerge from the Fruit of Life template. Head on over to my tutorials section when you’re ready to give it a go. You’ve got nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Some of my first drawings from when I started, back in 2017.

The drawings below were my very first mindful drawings. They’re whoppers – around 80cm x 60cm – and each one took a few months to draw. For over a year I sat on the floor of my nephew’s toy room, hunched over these huge boards, drawing in terrible light, while carving out portals into my subconscious mind to clear out my shadows.

These drawings threw me a ladder down at rock bottom, and very slowly, one rung at a time, I climbed back out. There is no ceiling to how high we can climb, how deep we can dive, or how far our consciousness can expand.

This journey is more beautiful than anything I could ever imagine.

The aim of my website, is to share this with you, so that you can experience it too.
