About Delirious Aesthetics

Hi, I’m Delirious ~ the half-finished human and recovering perfectionist behind Delirious Aesthetics.

I’ve always been a dabbler in the arts. Not the “I can sketch anything from imagination” kind, but the kind that finds calm in the rhythm of creating– coloring both in and outside the lines. With most standard coloring books, I feel as though there is no practical function and most of the illustrations would go un-colored because they do not feel like “me”. 

After my military enlistment I realized, through a lot of therapy, that creating was more important to my self-expression and recovery than I originally thought. I was not “avoiding my feelings”, I was finding that part of myself that I lost through trauma, I was finding joy again, and I was healing through expression…. Except, it was still difficult for me to find the right kinds of illustrations that resonated with all the versions of myself. 

I remembered the drawings from my niece and nephew during basic training, the letters that I could feel the love and support from. I remembered how lit up my friends would get when I added a hand-colored touch to a gift. It was tiny, thoughtful gestures that connected me back to myself and reminded me that creative expression doesn’t have to live in a frame or be gallery ready. It just has to be real. These connections fed me in such meaningful ways that I wanted to be able to share some of that with everyone else.

In an era of algorithms and endless feeds, I wanted to build something tactile. Intimate. Something that doesn’t just say “I’m thinking of you” but shows intentionality.
These coloring postcards that I’m curating from amazing, human artists are my way of offering art that’s half finished with love, so you can complete the rest with your unique take. They’re tiny canvases for your healing, your humor, your heart. And best of all, the coloring is meant to be shared, because connection doesn’t need to be grand to be meaningful.

So, whether you send them, keep them, gift them, or color to feel like yourself again, thank you for being here. I hope Delirious Aesthetics helps you find the joy, stillness, and sincerity you didn’t know you needed, and you allow me to follow you along the way.

With appreciation,
~ Delirious
