Talented Artist

I first met Daren at the Stamp Out Mental Health Stigma Carnival which i was involved in some time ago. I was taken by his wonderful talent. His drawings depict his struggles with depression and subsequently bipolar disorder throughout the past 23 years. His story also highlights the need for early intervention, as most mental health disorders are treatable and can be managed. They are also easier to manage and treat when acted upon in the early stages. He just recently got all his works organized online, i can't imagine the amount of scanning he has to do, so here's another indie talent to support. =) His writings are at http://www.dlauchengco-writings.blogspot.com while his drawings are at http://dlauchengco-gallery.blogspot.com. I've got 2 prints from him and i'm really happy with them. You can order from them online or drop by PATH Market at Vivocity on the listed dates on his site to purchase the prints in A3 size, postcards, puzzles, etc. They'll really make interesting presents for Christmas or even just something for your room. Support indie!

Love,
Dawne
