i am afraid of seaweed. i am afraid of many things, but nothing quite as irrational. i began to doodle this creature, and it made me aware of how silly such a fear is. there isn't a strange octopus monster living in the seaweed that wants to pull me down, or seaweed strong to wrap around my ankles, tangling me up and drowning me (the thought of it give me shivers!). besides, i know how to swim. so i don't get it. thus, i have been inspired by my irrational fears. i am beginning a collaborative piece about such silly things in order to help deal with the irrational, and conquer the fear in a silly, illustrated way. if anyone is out there, and are interested, stumbling upon my post, please, join in, and send me your irrational fear. you don't have to tell me who you are, it can be completely anonymous. i feel that it will be an fun collaboration, and even more interesting to see other irrational fears. because mine feels pretty damn silly.
