People With Mental Illness Enhance Our Lives
The latest chapter of my Psychiatric Tales book. Thirteen pages which nearly killed me. There's still some fiddling to do with the artwork here, but it's basically done. If you see any mistakes let me know. This chapter is a one-off, as it's a mixture of photos and artwork, which I think suite the subject. I don't intend to do further chapters in this style.
I enjoyed this...
ReplyDeleteNice work.
This is great stuff Darryl. Love your use of black and white, it suits the subject matter really well. Continuing good luck with the Psychiatric Tales book.
ReplyDeletevery good piece of art!
ReplyDeleteinteresting, well done, superb graphics - clap clap clap!!!
Well observed and articulated. Amazing how such similar characters appear across time in the same places. It's like a never ending chain of horrors.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the art you post on this site--very thoughtful and well-observed. I can't wait to see the book.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, important message.
ReplyDeleteGreat chapter. Thank you for that point that mental illness limits creativity, that people in artistic professions who suffer from it are suffering. One of the ugliest things I see in celebrity news is the way that people who have mental illness get belittled and humiliated about it, sometimes accused of just seeking attention.
ReplyDeleteArt can be powerful therapy, but becoming a serious professional artist is skill -- and mental illness, like any disease, can strike people in any profession.

This is really cool - but one thing you might want to sort out before you publish this: "Legacy" is spelt with a "c"... ("Garland left a lasting _legacy_")
ReplyDeleteOn the internet you get free proofreading!
Terrific!
ReplyDeleteAs per your request, a panel on page 12 about Nick Drake misspelled "fourth" as "forth."
Currently written as "Four tracks for a proposed FORTH album...."
Now I gotta go to my "Proofreaders Anonymous" mtg...
this is amazing. So glad to know so many famous people had something like this and yet went on to leave amazing legacies. Inspires me to not let my depression/bipolar disorder beat me.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I'm going to share it with my FB friends, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the other spell-check comments, in the Nick Drake segment, "persued" should be spelled "Pursued". Nice work.
ReplyDeleteNicely put! My bipolar teenage daughter enjoyed the way it was portrayed. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI just browsed this comics.
It is amazing.
The artwork, the story-telling, and most of all, the humane and elaborate view of mental illness.
Good luck with the book. I'll buy it.
great blog item - makes you think
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. It's so easy to think that having an ongoing mental or emotional problem makes you tainted, a cuckoo among the regular birds. Art like this can help to fight that. Thank you. :)
