Reasons Why We Get Tired

There are so many distractions surrounding us that it can divide our attention until we’re not too sure what we think or how we feel. This drawing is about those times when you feel overwhelmed by your own conflicting desires and ideas. It’s not a portrait of me or you, it’s a portrait of all of us – because we all get tangled in our own heads sometimes.

I drew this when I was in a state of calm attention, when I felt that I had enough distance from that disorder that I could see it for what it is.
