That strange feeling of being unattached and hidden away when you look at someone’s life through a screen and realise that there isn’t a single trace of you there.
Just when you think you’ve been through enough pain and time wasting, just when you think that things might be ok, life will throw something or someone at you that will really test your ability to trust again.

Feeling pretty useless and pointless right now. Feeling like I’m trying really hard but getting nowhere. I just wish I could explain to people how some normal things are hard for me, without them then treating me like I’m a child that needs looking after or getting frustrated with me. I would just like someone to turn to me and say “I understand that when you have to go into somewhere and talk to someone or when you have to call someone about something important/official that you get a crippling anxious feeling that starts in your stomach, making your words feel like vomit. I know that your head is then flooded with doubts and worries, telling you that you can’t do it and you physically can’t move forward, you begin to feel like you’re crumbling. It just goes over and over in your mind that you know there is no good reason to be scared of whatever it is your scared of. I know that most of the time you don’t even know what’s scaring you. I understand that you want to be able to do these things more than anything and I know it’s hard for you. I understand that you beat yourself up about it every minute of everyday and I know that if I beat you up about it too, then you’re only going to feel a hundred times worse.”
That is all I want right now. A little bit of confidence restoration and understanding.
Idiot’s Pasture and friends present the second instalment of Fan Art.
Remember when as a kid you used to sit and draw because it was fun? There was no pressure to meet deadlines, to use a limited colour palette or to meet the approval of anyone else. You did what you want and it was great.
Fan art is a pure, unregulated form of art where the creator is in complete control, spawning self organised sub cultures, meet ups and publications. It allows the creators to interpret a character or object and assign it a new personality and function, with nobody to tell you what can and can’t be done. It is a true labour of love.
This exhibition will show pieces of fan art produced by 10 different graphic artists and illustrators.
