I really enjoyed taking a spin around Felicia Chiao's Instagram (previously) — it's chock full of vibrant, expressive and dreamy work. Oh and take a look at her sketchbook tours — and you can buy a reproduction of her 6th sketchbook here (here too).

Felicia Chiao's illustrations depicting isolation, dissociation, and loneliness have taken on an added resonance during the pandemic. In a caption for one of her illustrations, she explains where the drawings come from:
I dissociate a lot. I like to think of my brain as a series of rooms. On good days I'm up front engaging with the world, and on bad days I'm waaay in the back. I can still kind of see and hear what's going on outside but it's far away and I don't feel a part of it. It's not unpleasant but time moves weird and I feel everything and nothing. A lot of you are connecting with my work because you're literally stuck inside and probably a little depressed too so...Welcome to my rooms! Please take your shoes off and be nice.
Prints (and more) of Chiao's work are available. (via colossal)
