![caxton«Printing [typography] was introduced in England in 1476 by William Caxton, who owes his fame, however, to more than the fact that he was England’s proto-typographer.

Year of Lyrics, Week 33: Help Me Now by Kevin McHale
I've been battling my brain pretty hard the past two weeks, which you may have been able to guess by the lyrics I've chosen. I'm in one of those brain slumps where you feel like your existence is annoying to everyone around you and any slight change in tone feels like the end of the world. For the most part I know what to expect from my brain when I'm feeling like this, so I know to ignore the feelings because it's just pointless antagonism from my anxiety, but sometimes you're in a situation where you can't tell if someone is actually upset with you or not because they have a right to be. Opening up and asking people to reassure you that you aren't annoying or upsetting them feels annoying so it's a spiral of obnoxious. That's where I've been at all week which is why I chose this specific lyric.
I decided to play around with paint splatters this week. I wanted it to feel busy and layered, like how my brain feels. For the base I did a light green wash, then got the paper super wet and did paint splatters with a toothbrush and let it dry tilted so the pigment migrated in one direction. While that was mostly dry I added a few more green splatters. I then covered part of the page to add black and red drops and splatters with both a paintbrush and the toothbrush. If I was doing this again I think I would have added the red and black after I inked the letters to make it feel a bit more hectic.
This went up early for my patrons! If you want to be privy to my lyric art earlier than everyone else and even get some behind the scenes progress pics check out my Patreon by the link in my linktree or by searching TundraKatieBean on Patreon!
