Teenager With Schizophrenia Began Drawing Her Hallucinations And The Result Is Mind-Blowing


Teenager With Schizophrenia Began Drawing Her Hallucinations And The Result Is Mind-Blowing

Kate Fenner has been ‘diagnosed’ with various labels over the years. When she turned 17, she was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia after her parents found out that her mental health was getting worse.

When her mental illness appeared, Kate discovered her inner artist. She started drawing her hallucinations and, as you'll see below, the results are beautiful. 

In her hallucinations, she hears voices, sound effects, random noises, and she often sees bugs, faces, and disembodied eyes. She specifically says: "I hallucinate bugs quite often, and my depression makes me feel worthless like a fly. These bug illustrations represent my illness".

Kate wants to fight her illness but also the inaccurate stereotypes regarding schizophrenia. You can find more about her on her Instagram.

The Cambodian Artist is Taking Doodling To Another Level

Cambodian artist Visoth Kakvei masterfully brings together symbolism and style, and no sketchbook has enough pages for his creativity. The 27-year-old graphic designer usually draws his works freehand and the pieces take 3-6 hours to finish, but sometimes Kakvei feels it's not enough. So, to make his incredibly intricate maze-like illustrations even more stunning, the artist digitally enhances them, making the doodles appear as if they're popping out from the pages. His mostly nature-inspired designs have already earned Visoth a staggering 800k following on Instagram and his fan army only keeps on growing.   #1 #2   #3   #4 #5   #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 boredpanda.com
