I'm an anon that's made enough to retire, relatively young.

But, I still suffer very badly from anxiety and depression (it runs deep in the family. Most of my childhood was in phyc wards with my mum).

I'm an alcoholic and a somewhat drug user, which is how I cope, along with SSRIs.

However, I have made an effort to document my highs with free-style Photoshop. It's cathartic and even when I'm sober I appreciate it, a lot. Like it was from a different person.

I am very naive about this, but is my art anything special, or is it run-of-the-mill garbage?

I'm not an artist, have no links to that world, nor am I schooled in it, so would love any feedback from anyone who is.

My site is https://heighart.com/ and it's half-built. I will build it out more with my full collection eventually, I just keep changing my mind on the UI/UX

[edit] I failed to mention the reason I say I am able to retire, is because I don't want any monetary benefit from my work, I am NOT trying to promote it. I am just curious if anyone else will appreciate it.
