Drawing Health: Growing a Visual Health Vocabulary

Where do you start, making graphic medicine about your health experiences? You start with yourself! Your own feelings, your own symptoms, your own language of comics. It can be daunting to do it with your mind, which is why I made this practice, for you to be guided without thinking too hard. Start with the body. Start by listening. Start with this episode, and discover the language you’ve already got, waiting to emerge visually. = Our theme music is Magic Hours by Aaron Comeau made for the Main St. Music Library. The Main St. Music Library hosts instrumental music created with simple parameters, with scores and instructions for listeners to recreate the music themselves. Musicians, artists, & listeners are encouraged to borrow freely from the library and return the materials in a different form than they found them. Find out more at mainstmusiclibrary.com.
