So, as far as aesthetics go, I feel it's well-constructed and wonderfully-colored. I especially like the outlining & the lettering. I have to say, though, I'm concerned about the image's message. Now, I don't know your friend's situation, but at least in applying the message generally -- normally, when we say that someone is only creating problems for oneself (I'm getting from the image that it's in the context of mental or emotional well-being), that's normally a warning flag that we, with our own social privileges, don't know about the problem's underlying issues. And it's potentially belittling to suggest that a simple pleasure (like eating a cookie) would fix it. I know the message is well-meaning, but sadly, it's also problematic.
haha. Wow, thanks. Its an excelent critic... but you don't actually know him, and if you did, you'd see that the problems he creates are just a result of his paranoid way of thinking about... pretty much everything. He overthink some things, and by doing that constantly, he ends up losing some great oportunities in life. And, with a bit of my weird humor, i suggested him to do something simple (like you said, a simple pleasure), like eating a cookie. But hey, thanks so much for commenting!!! :) and sorry for my english x_x
We do create our own problems, and how we react to things put in our path also can cause us problems that need not be. Eating cookies is maybe not the only solution, but it may cause one to stop for a moment to contemplate something other than problems. Well done.
