Death-Inspired Love Comics That I Create To Cope With My Depression
Hello! This is Haenuli, I am a fashion designer who owns a small brand and also an artist. My biggest hobby is drawing and doing creative stuff, but I didn’t expect so many support with some of my drawings! Hope you like my drawings.
When I visited the Paris Orsay museum, I saw many paintings but one old painting by Marianne Stoke (“Young girl and the angel of death”), that was Death-like; stood out to me. It was very interesting in human history how Death or Depression were messages and metaphors. They were shown in many different ways and forms throughout time.
This gave me so much inspiration in dealing with my own depression. I thought about my lost friends, broken hearts and hard times that I’ve been through. I wanted to accept my depression and I started to draw with short messages.
Even dark things give comfort, and often depression is the odd comfort for knowing us well. I hope you enjoy my drawings, my book will be published soon. Thank you for reading!

Yes. These resonate. Your artwork is beautiful, and you convey so much meaning with their postures. Thank you for sharing these.
I have felt some of these at times , I remember the comfort in some of the sadness, it was beautiful. But at the same time so dangerous.
They look absolutely lovely... sad but at the same time profoundly warm and gentle. I'm trying to draw similarly-mooded stuff for the same reasons, but you're doing a much greater job than I am, trust me on that.
i really really love your work, it' so super unique and somehow tender
Had my Daughter not been murdered by a jealous ex-boyfriend I might view this art in a different light. Though it is skillfully drawn and very creative I find it makes me feel sad.
Wonderful. You are gifted. You insights on living with depression are spot on. It really does walk with you and talk with you. Great!

I LOVE these drawings!! I have to admit when I was 8 my parents split and I had a LOT of responsibility put on me and I felt like I would break and I had suicidal thoughts occasionally I'm 12 now and I'm better now,I never told anybody because even though I was struggling I didn't wan't them to worry because they had a lot going on to. I literally have tears in my eyes writing this,it was a very hard time for me,I had to look after 3 of my younger siblings mostly by myself and my my big brother and my baby brother were with my mom and I felt like someone had picked me up,put me in a blender,took me out and tried to put me back together 4 yrs later and I'm still dealing with this while cutting off contact with my mother because we fought all the time and I don't want my siblings in that toxic environment.
Your art brings me comfort, bringing me face to face with grief... looking at it with romance.

Please Haenuli how can I get the book with all draws? Love your work, and understand what depression is and how feels. Love sent from Colombia
Hello Haenuli! I am very inspired by your designs and I was wondering if it would be okay with you for me to do a photoshoot based on your drawings 😊
I find these on the Internet all the time, and they never cease to amaze and inspire me. Nicely done, they're absolutely beautiful.
Hi, my name is Maria. Recently my depression has worsened, but I'm drawn to your little comics. They bring me joy, so I hope you don't mind, I saved them. I want to be friends with you, if you want to.
hi there! i was wondering if you'd mind me getting one of these as a tattoo?? i thought i'd ask instead of just doing it :-)
These are gorgeous works. I'm glad this all helped with you to cope and thanks for sharing wit the rest of the world! HUGS
They are just beautiful, I can relate. Thanks for expressing yourself in a way to help me cope....
great work! :) i hope you feel better soon :) everything gets better at some point, even if it seems to take a long time, but it will get better eventually, just get professional help (even if that means several different therapists until the right one appears and/or medication) and hang in there everyone :)
All the way i was thinking its going to be more romantic but It was funny in the end
Great work! As a person with depression I can even relate, but I can't draw :D Really beautifu thing
I've suffered with depression for almost a decade (and I'm only 20). These comics actually brought a smile to my face, even though I regularly have panic attacks when thinking about the inevitability of death. Contrary to (unfortunately) common misconceptions and stereotypes, people with depression usually fear death to an unhealthy degree, we don't want it to happen.
So relatable.. when life gets overwhelming it's reassuring to know death is always there to take all the pain away..
a lot of artists done that allready. No need for this negative stuff.

She's not idolizing it, she's drawing to illustrate and get through her own depression. It's literally there in the title.

Please, no. That's insulting to everyone who suffers from genuine depression, as it bears the accusation that they are lazy, self absorbed unaccomplished people. Some of the most creative and accomplished peoples in the history of mankind suffered from episodes of extreme depressioni. Words like yours rather drag people into further depression as most of them struggle with extreme and tiresome selfdoubt down to real selfhate. No one enjoys suffering from depression.
