Hi, I’m Becki - your friendly neighbourhood AuDHD artist.
I’m a digital portrait artist based in Middlesbrough, UK, creating bold, emotionally connected art for people who are deeply obsessed… just like me 😅
What makes my art different?
Being a digital artist (& therapist) late diagnosed with Autism & ADHD, my art is very much powered by Elvanse, creativity, and a tad bit of defiance 👀.
My art is for the chronically passionate… all you gamers, dreamers, and deep feelers who see the world a little differently and are sick of being gaslit into believing this is wrong.
This is because I was that person before my diagnosis.
I thought being passionate was actually a bit… much. Now I see this intensity as fuel. As something SO important to the world and how it is right now. I want to help others feel seen, celebrated, and valid, through art that reflects who you really are.
How did rocket art universe start?
Drawing has been one of my many passions since I was a kid, when I started sketching out my favourite Disney and game characters before branching out into other subjects.
After being super burned out from full time work in 2023, I used a bit of impulsiveness & delusion to turn my love of drawing into a business. I had no idea what i was doing – I just knew i wanted to draw forever and maybe not cry for 37.5 hours of my week!
So I used that mix of a mix of curiosity, hope, and the dream of spending at least some of my days drawing instead of surviving. I didn’t have a plan, just a digital pad, the Concepts app, and a lifelong love of turning my obsessions into art.
Alongside art, mental health has also been another one of my hyperfixations that I’ve focused studies and career on over the years. It wasn’t until my own Autism & ADHD diagnosis, and becoming a Neurodivergent specialist in my therapy practice, I finally understood why creating art has always felt like more than a hobby.
Art is how I connect and express myself. Its how I process my emotions. And its a reminder to myself and others that there are other ways to communicate. You’re allowed to love what you love, and you’re allowed to do it loudly, without apology.
I’ve learned a lot on the way and things started out pretty slow. But I found my people, started using procreate, sold at Comic Cons and started ADHD meds. From this, suddenly I could hold an inch of motivation to actually build something??? I now understand my brain and my business so much more!
AuDHD still very much influences my creative process, which is where I decided to make art for the chronically obsessed (just like me!). I also see every print, design and sticker as a bit of rebellion against decor that reinforces conformity & beige (blehhh 😂). Because decor should demonstrate that your identity, diversity & uniqueness are beautiful 💚
I started with just a tendency to get highly attached to the things I love and a passion for drawing. And I’m still here, still drawing and still buzzing when people buy my stuff!
So if anyone is here reading my rambles, thank you for helping me grow this lil comfort corner of the internet into a safe space where authenticity, fandom, and feeling ALL emotions deeply are more than welcome 💚
Bonus fact: The inspiration between my brand name and logo is my Dog Rocket – a 3 year old Shiba Inu who enjoys shredded mozzarella, chasing my cat Fuji, cuddles and chaos. He’s playful, sassy and a plain weirdo and that’s what I love about him!!
