Reminder – CFP –Special Issue of the Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies. Deadline February 1st, 2021.

Jan. 11, 2021 by Ian Williams Leave a Comment

Title of Special Issue: Cripping Graphic Medicine: Approaching Comics from a Disability Studies Perspective. Guest Editors: Gesine Wegner (Leipzig University) and Dorothee Marx (Kiel University) At first glance, a wider public may find the connection between comics and disability rather counterintuitive, as Rosemarie Garland-Thomson remarks: “Most of us assume that comics and disability exist in two completely different worlds. […] Comics are light; disability is heavy. Comics are inviting; disability is forbidding. Comics are cheerful; disability is dismal” (Garland-Thomson 2016: x). Yet, as a growing amount of scholarship in recent years has shown (Squier and Krüger-Fürhoff 2020; Foss et al…. Read More

Scribble: 12-hour online DJ set with drawing challenges, hosted by DJ Richie Havers.

Aug. 7, 2020 by Ian Williams 2 Comments

Guest blog by DJ Richie Havers My childhood friend Gordon has an inoperable brain tumour. Gordon writes comics about his life with his tumour and is also going to be featured in a documentary film. He’s an interesting guy. Gordon and I are both 40 this year. Unfortunately, the parties we had planned were cancelled. So, on Saturday 8th August, I’m going to play records for 12 hours to celebrate and raise money for charity. I want to invite you to tune in!   The event is based on Scribble, a club night I ran many years ago in Dundee…. Read More

Apr. 14, 2020 by Ian Williams Leave a Comment

You may remember Ian Williams’s graphic medicine mural executed by object… at the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft, last year. In the last week or two PRSC have been collaborating with Dr John Lee of the University of Bristol @UoBrisIBAMH, on a COVID-19 #medicineonthewalls project. Using their outdoor gallery wall, and their street-art friends, they are making a video-graff message of public health – with their own take. The designs are available for circulation if @UoBrisIBAMH are credited. Starting with ‘♥ to our NHS Heroes’ by object… (covered by the Guardian, Telegraph and Bristol Live), the wall was painted over three times… Read More
