'MORE OF THE SAME' - Artworks by masksignal

A spiritual follow up to 'COFFEE SHOP WORKER' (2017).

Like the original, hugely popular, sell-out Analogue Submission Press chapbook, 'MORE OF THE SAME' is a mix of reflective explorations on trauma; a desperately bleak insight from the customer service industry; and a frustrated dirge for an alcoholically drenched 20s. Humorous observations and celebrity rumours are some of the diversions, in a notebook of yo-yoing mental health.

Principally conceived in one moleskin-notebook in 2018 and 2019, the works marked a conscious choice to step away from the branded till-receipt format previously used and an intention to document a struggle to find a meaningful creative direction alongside full-time work.

For all your dreaming and ambition, perhaps your real life isn’t just around the corner at all - what awaits you is just, well, more of the same.
