Welcome To Illustrating Illness

In the past few years I have had to come to terms with illness and the effects it has had on my psyche, my body, and my life. I am still in the process of coping (sometimes not so successfully) and use illustration (mostly using my own head!!) to help in the process. In this blog I am hoping others will submit their own original contributions of digitized art so I can add their illustrations with mine.

  6. Wow - I think Mat could really relate to some of this art. Not so much in his head, but in his back and liver. Very vivid!
