“If you can understand the skeleton, you can figure pretty much everything else out.”
Recorded live at Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC) in 2018, Kriota Willberg returns to the podcast to talk about the origins of her new book, Draw Stronger: Self-Care For Cartoonists & Visual Artists (Uncivilized Books). We get into her work in the Graphic Medicine field, learning to see beneath the skin, the graphic novel she’s working on about Galen and the process of stitching people up, her best practices for festivals and conventions, the myth of the wandering uterus, and why cartoonists need to think (and train) like athletes! Plus: My New Year’s Resolutions! Give it a listen! And go buy Draw Stronger: Self-Care For Cartoonists and Other Visual Artists
“I can see what people look like without their skin.”
“Posture is important: If you’re just taking care of yourself from elbow down, that may not fix things.”
Enjoy the conversation! Then check out the archives for more great episodes!
