Doom and Bloom

Artist and YouTuber Campbell Walker, known online as Struthless, makes an illustrated case for choosing creativity over doom-scrolling in an anxious age. Part manifesto, part self-help, part sketchbook, the book argues that making things — however small — is an antidote to the panic and paralysis modern life encourages. Warm, funny, and packed with his hand-drawn art, it’s a permission slip to create for its own sake. A cheering read for anyone who feels creatively stuck or overwhelmed.
