#So this is me, Mantlebeard. I also go by Bebo or, if you insist, Brian. This past year my mental health, having gone through a series of life uppercuts, took another nose dive which nearly did me in. Luckily my family held me together and in an attempt to rebuild myself I want to do more that brings me peace and happiness. That's where this channel comes in. **My hope is to draw and spread the message of worth, value, mindfulness and acceptance.** It's to be a practice in therapeutic space for me and hopefully for others that need it.

#Be cool. --DON'T be a jerk or troll. Being a caveman is okay. --DON'T insult me or others in chat. --DON'T be vulgar. I can take it but I'm about respecting others space too. --DON'T paste links to self-promote. If you have your own stream to share, ask first. --Talk, or don't, no pressure either way. --KEEP things civil. Disagreeing is fine and normal, insulting or being condescending is unacceptable. --DO feel free to ask questions about art, psychology, mental health, mindfulness, or whatever.

Donations are totally, completely and humbly welcomed. Unless specified in a Goal, donations will go to more art supplies or equipment to improve the stream. Donations will NOT go to pants that I'm required to wear or super fighting robots, probably. Also it assigns you the title of being a super sweet person like it or not.

#Inspiring. Here are some amazing peoples to go watch and enjoy their faces or music or art or just them being who they are. --[HeartSupport](http://twitch.tv/heartsupport) --[DanMarksHisMark](http://twitch.tv/danmakeshismark) --[Ashandis](http://twitch.tv/ashandis) --[MikeTVLive](http://twitch.tv/miketvlive)
