Hi there,
Welcome to my little nook found here on the internet.
My name is Tee, and I am a self-taught illustrator residing in New York City with my husband, two dogs, a turtle, and a house full of plants. After years of starting and stopping random art projects, I have finally decided to create an "evergreen" blog that I could be proud of. The concept "11148 Faces" all started during the 2020 pandemic, where I found myself riddled with anxiety and depression. NYC felt like another realm, and the only thing that seemed to help ease the distress (at the time) was drawing random cartoon-like faces on my Wacom tablet. Never really thinking much about my art, I kept on drawing, saving, & storing my digital creations onto an external hard drive. Fast forward five years later post-pandemic, I have decided to get back into randomly drawing faces while listening to endless YouTube & Tik Tok videos. This habit has literally become a form of meditation & hopefully I can make this a full-time job where I will be able to connect with humans again. Yes, I know that the world is upside down (at the current moment). In between the endless negative new cycles, random UFO sightings, natural disasters, global atrocities & constant political discourse here in America, I’ve figured this would be the best time to live out my artistic dreams before the zombie apocalypse ensues.
11,148 Faces fully represent all of the quirks that float around in my head on a daily basis. The number is significant as it's actually my birthday, and since time waits for no one, I want to take each day to create something that makes people laugh, smile, and talk amongst one another while I accomplish this very approachable goal. Each face illustrated showcases the beauty of humanity from the lens of a socially awkward New Yorker on a quest to achieve personal greatness before the mothership arrives.
PS: If you are still reading this......just know that it's never too late to pursue your dreams even if no one actually sees it right away! And that is what I am doing going forward, please keep in mind I have no idea where this journey will take me. Hopefully you'll stick around for the process.
