Hey! I am a mental health artist focusing on spreading mental health awareness through vibrant psychedelic art. This started as an Instagram account in 2020 as a way of expressing myself under the handle Artbycallmejohn. Now you can find it at Art.By.Scotty
Why Mental Health Art?
My art naturally evolved from random expressive designs into an avenue of visually expressing the things that I have felt at any given time. I typically start by journaling, and then focus on key phrases or epiphanies that come up and make corresponding images to better visualize a concept. I have found it very freeing to be able to start with a phrase that is bothering me, or that I can’t seem to implement in my life and then draw a figure expressing that phrase in some way.
This process is a natural delving into my own mental health, and by sharing this art I have found so many people who have gone through similar experiences and can relate. I want to share this art with as many people as possible.
This will soon be a store to shop to buy prints, stickers, etc. For now you can use my linktree

Mental Health Art Pieces
I spend a lot of time in my head.
It’s so easy to get stuck in my mental space and not realize that what my head is saying is not always true, and is definitely not the whole story… (buy print: Sometimes I Get In My Head)
