Hypnagogic macrosomatognosia - a hallucination I’ve experienced since childhood while drifting off to sleep, where I have the perception that I’m both absolutely massive and minuscule at the same time, especially my hands and teeth/head.

 

That last painting was a little tedious so I’m chilling out with some pet portraits ...Oreo is so happy about his portrait....... just kidding, it was hard even getting him in this photo. Haha.

I created this painting as a contribution to No estamos todas, an illustration project that seeks to visualize feminicides in Mexico by symbolically depicting feminicide victims.
