Conquer the Day

From the irreverent mind of Josh Mecouch, the artist behind the wildly popular Instagram (@pantspants) and Twitter account, @Pants, a collection of affirmations perfect for anyone ready to pass through the portal of self-improvement. Conquer the Day is a collection of affirmations for all those on the long, winding road of personal development. Under the Twitter (@pants) and Instagram handle @PantsPants, Josh Mecouch has a large following who delight in his bizarre and unique illustrations. Now, Conquer the Day invites fans into the larger Pants universe, introducing new characters and never-before-seen art. Pairing encouraging affirmations with emotive black-and-white illustrations—highlighted with the occasional splash of color—Josh takes us on a journey into the world of self-improvement. The contrast between the positive affirmations and the visceral style of the illustrations point to the tension between our hopes and aspirations and the reality of our day-to-day lives as we strive to realize our best selves. Unlock the power of affirmations: I exhale weakness and inhale confidence. I am sexy and people want to be around me. My path to sucess success is inevitable. I focus on what I can control. I organize my socks.
