9 years ago I started making conceptual illustrations in my spare time. One of the most predominant topics has been mental health, that is, the things I have in my head that I explain better by drawing than by writing.
On February 29th, "Transforming Silence" will be released – a guide for parents and educators, addressing Selective Mutism in children. It meticulously delineates Art Therapy techniques and psychotherapeutic approaches essential for treating this condition.
Apart from handling the book layout, we have provided fresh, fun, and upbeat illustrations to elucidate these sensitive topics and clarify techniques that can help children with selective mutism develop their communication skills.
Big thanks to Monica Ventura from Mente a Color for counting on us in one of the most beautiful projects we've been part of.
Stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
This is the second personal illustration in a row about mental health.
When I was a kid mental health was a taboo, something weird that happened to other people. Today everybody is talking and caring about their psychological well-being. We have experienced lots of traumas, disappointments, and moments of rage, and have dealt with alcohol and smoking stuff that affected our mental health although everybody was telling us that it was very funny.
Having a break, telling your problems or your concerns to your mother, or a friend who is good at listening, and getting professional help is good for your health. Caring and treating well other people is good for you and also for them.
Have a great day!
Salud,
