About H2CTFD
In 2020, my friend Isaiah Shalwitz decided to write a book. I was the one he reached out to illustrate and lay out the entire thing. “How to Calm the F*ck Down” is Isiah’s dream to try and get people to relax after a tough year. My illustrations cover the range of the human experience after a tumultuous year at home in a simple, funny, and evocative illustration style.
perseverance and ambition during 2020
The project covers planning and illustrating all 30 images, laying out Isaiah’s prose in a book, and designing the advertising for the Kickstarter campaign. While Isaiah ultimately decided to leave the book as a hobby project close to his heart, I still adore the idea and work behind it. The project kept us both focused on being present and ultimately trying to make the best out of an incredibly difficult year.
