This Week in Graphic Medicine (7/6/18 & 7/13/18)
Note: I feel I must apologize for the erratic schedule of these posts of late. I’ve had a fair bit of travel, but it is mostly because of stress in my personal life with moving. As I’ve drawn and shared before, stress tends to aggravate my chronic pain – I attribute it to stressing an overtaxed mind too far – and it makes doing even the most routine things more time-consuming. I will hopefully be more settled soon (likely after the conference). As always, if I’ve missed something (highly likely), let me know. And if you ever want to do… Read More

The projects that followed me in my job transition, combined with developing new collections and the end-of-the-semester as an adjunct have wrecked havoc upon my schedule. I apologize for the delay and for the strain this post is likely to cause on your device! Matthew’s Pick of… Read More
