What is Tubby Punch?

Tubby Punch is an ongoing art exploration project by artist, Chris Houghton. Most of this work was created during a confusing and foggy multi-year withdrawal process from paroxetine, an antidepressant the artist had been taking since childhood.

The artwork featured on this site varies greatly in style and medium. What unifies the work is the process: little to no preliminary work, single-session pieces, and a strong prioritization of emotional exploration.
