72 And now for something completely serious.

To keep myself busy and, allegedly, creative, I occasionally veer away from the corporate concept world of bombastic synergy and stock illustrations featuring hero businessmen aggressively smashing through brick walls.

Instead, I try to focus on topics actually dominating public discourse—like mental health, burnout syndrome, and the general stress of the modern workplace.

I am entirely unqualified to offer psychological advice, so I will leave the actual talking to the experts. My contribution to the discussion is strictly visual: this conceptual illustration of a mind under repair.

To be honest, being a minimalist illustrator makes drawing scaffolding a bit complicated. The challenge is rendering it in a minimalist yet recognizable way without turning the whole thing into a chaotic visual mess. Relying on a regular, geometric structure keeps the editorial artwork tight and legible, avoiding unnecessary clutter while the tiny figures go about the heavy lifting of repairing.

If you happen to need conceptual illustrations for articles on mental health, workplace well-being, or general human exhaustion, my work is out there. You can find my existing portfolio by searching my name on the major stock platforms.

Alternatively, if you need something entirely bespoke and aren't keen on sifting through millions of stock vectors, reach out directly for custom illustration work.
