Please, Just Let Me Sleep Forever 

By: Alyssa Trop

Please, Just Let Me Sleep Forever is a personal narrative following a sequence of surreal events that I’ve translated from my experience with depression. My attempt was to convey my intense feelings of emptiness as well as the desire to only sleep so that I could escape that emptiness. I used a hand-drawn animation technique for this piece that includes pencil, ink, and acrylic paint.

You know, with the blatant sexism instilled in the video game industry, the idea of having to work in that kind of an environment frustrates and angers me.  I just hope that as a female artist, maybe I can alter things for the better.
