Hi there,
Welcome to my small nook on the interwebs....
My name is Tee, and I am a 44-year-old living and surviving in New York with my beautiful husband, two dogs, a turtle, and a house full of plants. During the 2020 pandemic, I found myself riddled with anxiety and depression, and the only thing that seemed to help ease the distress (at the time) was drawing cartoon faces. Little did I realize, I would find myself in the same predicament in 2025.
Currently the world is upside down (at the current moment), between the endless negative new cycles & UFO sightings, I figured that I would take time to live out my artistic dreams before the zombie apocalypse ensues.
So, I set up a Gmail account, logged into Blogger, and created this blog (11148faces.art). I figured to myself; this would be a great start for a personal project that would force me to push my creative pursuits. I set a goal of creating 11,148 illustrations that fully represent the quirks that float around in my head. 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.
Each face illustrated showcases the beauty of humanity from the lens from 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. In the meantime, please take a moment to follow me on the following socials
