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.
