Spotlight: Grandpa’s Deterioration

guest post by Kimberly Ho,  NYU Long Island School of Medicine/NYU Langone Health My name is Kimberly Ho, and I am pursuing my medical degree at NYU Long Island School of Medicine. “Grandpa’s Deterioration” is a reflection piece of mine and captures part of my grandpa’s aging experience. This work focuses on a short time period during the pandemic, between June to August 2020. Making this comic changed many of my perceptions of what was happening to my grandfather. Instead of thinking of his aging as a downfall and depicting the things he progressively lost, I chose to appreciate a different… Read More

Following two public forums on Comics for Blind and Low Vision Readers, SF State’s Accessible Comics Collective seeks proposals from individuals or teams to produce comics in accessible formats. We welcome submissions that: Adapt a traditional comic into an accessible version for blind and low vision readers, either from an existing comic or one created for the purpose of this charrette; or Produce a new comic that is “born accessible.” Recognizing that no one size fits all, applicants may consider multiple approaches to accessibility such as but not limited to: Physical and/or digital media that promote nonvisual engagement; Multimodal interactions via… Read More

Call for Cover Art!

The journal Academic Medicine announces their second annual call for the Cover Art feature, opening June 1. Submissions will be evaluated by a panel of experts in art and medicine. They are seeking original works of art that should be inspired by, but not necessarily representative of, an academic medicine experience from any perspective: caregiver, researcher, teacher, learner, or patient. The journal welcomes photography, sculpture, painting, textile work, and other visual media. For more information, details are here.

Conference Update: Remote Presentations

From the beginning of our discussions about the 2022 Graphic Medicine Conference, we have been committed to making the conference available remotely as well as in person. As part of that effort, we would like to let you know the plan for integrating and involving remote presentations this year. We received far too many excellent submissions to afford each of them a timeslot in our conference. But we did not want to reject quality presentations. So we have devised a compromise: for those of you who opted for remote presentations, your presentation will be done via pre recorded video. We will… Read More

Spotlight: Cancer Survivor Reflects on Change

guest post by Jane Klinger This short comic is about physical change and limitation—and how my relationship to limits has changed over the years. I focus on my recent experience with bone cancer, which involved a major surgery and a year of chemotherapy, but I hope it might resonate for people facing other physical or mental challenges too. If you’re interested in my work, I share other personal comics, psychology-related comics, and doodles on instagram @janeadairks.

Spotlight: Broken, But Lucky

guest post by Tyrion Love I created this page about the kidney transplant I had in 2013. It lasted a good 7 years but I’m now back on dialysis and living with end-stage chronic kidney failure and its various complications. I’ve been drawing a comic about all this for a while now and didn’t know that there was a sub-genre called Graphic Medicine! My work has never been published but I’m planning to self-publish a collection and will update this page when it’s ready. If you want to follow me on Instagram, you can do so here.

guest post by Trilce García Cosavalente I am a visual artist and a graphic designer. I was born and raised in Peru and currently live in Finland with my family. I have been lucky enough to travel a lot and I love meeting people from different countries and communities, but still I have been very timid and reserved. So I see art as a safe place to express myself when words are limited. Drawing became a way to express how I perceived the world, and comics have become a powerful language to convey my way of seeing things. I have… Read More

Happy Spring everyone!   Below is a post I have shared across social media and on some listservs as well that I want to make sure our community sees too.
