Sometimes depression can be one of those things that’s hard to describe with words, which was the inspiration for artist Sow Ay to start turning his feelings of anxiety and depression into heartfelt comics that others find all-so-true as well.
Sow often finds it hard to explain how he feels to others and because depression is an illness that sometimes has no immediate or visible symptoms it’s easy for others to dismiss a persons feelings and tell them to “cheer up” or “think more positively”, all pieces of advice that Sow’s illustrations clearly show don’t help in the slightest.
From his own coping mechanisms on a day-to-day basis to how he feels on the inside vs. the side that everyone else see’s, Sow’s comics resonate with a lot of people and offer some sort of comfort to others that feel the same in knowing that they’re not alone. Sow also creates other artworks, comics and loves designing. You can see more of Sow’s work on Instagram, Facebook and Tumblr.
