Lynda Barry is a legend of alternative comics. These days, she teaches at the University of Wisconsin. Her book What It Is, was recently re-issued on paperback. When we talked to Lynda in 2020, she'd just released Making Comics. It's sort of an illustrated guide on how to create comics. At the heart of the book is a belief Lynda has: Anybody can draw. Anyone can make comics. Yes, even you!Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Welcome to the final episode in our special four-part series on design. Brands are everywhere and sometimes feel so omnipresent that it's hard to know what counts as one. So we've invited designer, educator and Design Matters podcast host Debbie Millman to help us make sense of brands. At its core, Debbie says, branding is the process of manufacturing meaning to come up with a shared symbol. And it's something we've been doing for thousands of years. Today, Debbie and Lilah discuss the history of branding and its relationship with design, and the relatively recent phenomenon of ‘personal brands'. Debbie also shares insights from nearly two decades hosting Design Matters.-------We love hearing from you. Lilah is on Instagram @lilahrap and we're on X @lifeandartpod.

It's not just our tech-enabled world that runs by algorithm. We meat machines, we humans, we one and all have our own programming, our deeply embedded rules that determine the decisions we make, the paths we walk, and who and how we show up in the world. Often the first part of growth and development is figuring out what our rules are, finding language for our own programming. The second part of growth and development is often unbugging the program and rewriting the maxims, so you become the person you want to be rather than the person you once were. So, here are three rules, three algorithms, three maxims that I bet you haven't considered, at least not fully. Number one, don't wait until you know who you are to get started. Number two, learn to take a punch. And number three, the ordinary plus extra attention equals the extraordinary. Each one of these is taken from a different book written by our guest today, Austin Kleon. Get‌ ‌book‌ ‌links‌ ‌and‌ ‌resources‌ ‌at‌ https://www.mbs.works/2-pages-podcast/ Austin Kleon is a prolific writer and artist known for his innovative approach to creativity and self-expression. He is the author of several bestselling books, including "Steal Like an Artist," "Show Your Work," and "Keep Going." Austin reads two pages from “What It Is” by Lynda Barry. [reading begins at 49:24] Hear us discuss: The importance of finding inspiration and guidance from mentors and teachers in one's field."The great thing about dead masters is they can't refuse you as a student."  [36:18] | The significance of community and how it can shape one's creative journey. [21:25] | The impact of encountering individuals who open doors to new creative possibilities. [42:31] | The value of simplicity and restraint in creative work. "Creativity is subtraction." [49:12] | The power of self-reflection and questioning in the creative process. "Is this good? Does this suck?" [50:14] | The transformation from enjoying creative work to feeling pressure and self-doubt. [50:45] | The importance of maintaining a sense of play and joy in creative endeavors. [51:53]

What if you could step outside your life for a moment, tap into hidden sources of inspiration, and completely reimagine your life's possibilities? It turns out, you can.  In today's episode of The Business of You, we're hosting creativity coach Susie deVille to teach us how to do exactly that. Susie is a longtime brandiD client, and this is her second time on the podcast  – because our listeners requested that we invite her back for more! Susie is the founder and CEO of the Innovation & Creativity Institute. An author, coach, and business owner who built and sold a highly profitable real estate firm, she has been researching innovation and creativity since 2005. Her first book, Buoyant: The Entrepreneurs Guide to Becoming Wildly Successful, Creative, and Free, has been called The Artist's Way for entrepreneurs. Susie teaches us how to be more creative, not just for fun, but in how we approach every aspect of our lives, from relationships to work.  Are you ready to bet on yourself? When the recession of 2008 hit, Susie lost it all. She calls it her “nuclear winter period,” a time of deep loss and seemingly endless change. But even when times were dark, Susie could bet on one thing: Herself. Despite a business and marriage in shambles, Susie knew she had what it takes to get through difficult times. Instead of succumbing to despair, she renovated a building and started a real estate business.  On the outside looking in, it made no sense. Her friends and family questioned her sanity when she went into real estate during a housing crash, effectively placing her life savings in the hands of an uncertain economic market. But everything paid off when she succeeded. Her business took off, and everything came into alignment for her.  Innovative thinking requires practice. When asked why she can weather such extreme periods of change without a hitch, Susie's answer might surprise you…she practices being uncertain, all the time.  Before the recession hit, Susie was no stranger to taking calculated risks. She practices creative and innovative thinking every single day using the methods she lays out in her book: walking, meditating, making art, singing, and moving her body. By allowing her brain to become comfortable with uncertainty and creativity, she effectively trains herself to become a more innovative thinker. In her own words, “There is a physiological thing that happens in our brain when we are creating something.” You can do this too. If you find yourself becoming more inflexible and doubting your abilities, it's time to read her book – and become more creative yourself! It's time to design your life… Your life is not meant to be lived in a cubicle, doing the same things every single day, with no room for creativity. You are so much more than that, whether you know it or not.  You create possibilities you would never have discovered by training your brain to think creatively. In her book and her coaching programs, she teaches her clients how to tap into this part of themselves.  The first thing she asks them to do is design their ideal day. What is your ideal day, and what would you be doing if nothing was holding you back? The answers might surprise you and might be closer than you think. Despite the limitations we assume are there – money, time, and connections – allowing ourselves to dream creates space for our brain to do the work for us, identifying resources to get us closer to what we really want. That is the power of the buoyant way and Susie deVille's incredible teaching. Tune in to this episode and prepare to discover what you're really capable of! Quotes “It's about designing and mapping out the life we want to have…and then having the courage to live it.” “I was faced with quite a dilemma because everything in my life imploded at that point - my finances, my marriage, everything. I needed a plan to get out of this. By the end of 2010, I did it! I launched my own company and renovated a building for my office. People thought I was insane, during a recession.” “I bet everything on myself. In three years, I was financially free. Because I was forced to make this huge leap and not just stick my toe into uncertainty but dive into the deep end, I was going to find a way!” “I have a practice that I do every single day - meditating, walking, and creating art. I fill the well of my self-trust that is required to move with agility and speed in uncertain times.” “Stay in your existing job and start stocking your escape capsule with money, supplies, resources, teams of people and connections to be successful. Do this first. Then you'll be in a position of not being panicky about your resources. You'll be able to build in a very thoughtful intentional way, and leverage your resources to make bigger and bigger deals.” “Write down your ideal day, in detail. Don't censor yourself, or limit yourself. Then look at it for things that are surprising to you. Suddenly, the things that you typically think will be important to you, don't seem as important. It might surprise you how little it requires.” “It's important to remember things you used to do and enjoy, that you stopped doing when you got busy. Make a list of those things.” “Don't wait until you have five million in the bank. Beginning gives momentum. Starting opens you up to new possibilities, new people, new resources and ideas - and it's all a lot closer to you than you might think.” “There is a physiological thing that happens in our brain when we are creating something.” Work With Susie: If you would like to work with Susie, check out her latest workshop details below.

An audio excerpt from M. Allen Cunningham's talk "Reading, Seeing, and Self-Forgetting," delivered recently in an undergraduate creative writing course. Cunningham considers what a creative writing course can and cannot achieve, and explores the imaginative value of honing one's perceptions by "going beyond the edges" of one's own identity, perspectives, imagination, and discipline. One springboard for this lecture is Ali Smith's Artful, an assigned book for this course Other touchpoints include Rainer Maria Rilke, Paul Cezanne, Harold Bloom, C.S. Lewis, Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, James Baldwin, Michael Oakeshott, and Lynda Barry. (NB: Cunningham's particular discussion of Rilke originates with Letters on Cezanne, edited by Joel Agee, and draws on the observations in Agee's introduction to that book.)Visit www.MAllenCunningham.com to learn more about Cunningham's work as a writer, teacher, and publisher.

Melissa Chadburn's debut novel, A Tiny Upward Shove, is part serial killer thriller, part magical realism folklore, part love story, part coming of age story, and fully riveting. Its narrator is an aswang—otherwise known as a Philippine shapeshifter, a ghoul, a spinstress, a vampire, a soul-sucker with a proboscis. Over a decade in the making, Chadburn's novel contains beautifully unique prose and haunting imagery. She joins Marrie to talk about it. Along the way, they talk about how Chadburn struggled with structure, and how real-life serial killer William Pickton provided it. They talk about the different shapes novels can take, including Jane Allison's Meander, Spiral, Explode and Ursula Le Guin's The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction. They talk about the power of lists in fiction, how to engage in the writerly art of witnessing, and Lynda Barry's What It Is. They discuss writing sex and violence, including the best advice Chadburn received from former guest and Tin House editor Steve Almond. And they discuss how being a good literary citizen may have made a difference in marketing this novel, and what it means to be a good literary citizen. Melissa and Marrie are both fans of Tin House, their workshops, and their craft lectures. To discover some of those craft essays, click here.

Artist & author Dmitry Samarov rejoins the show to talk about his new book, PAINT BY NUMBERS, the disastrous experience he had trying to profile a pair of renowned artists, and why he chose to chronicle (& fictionalize) it years later in this book. We get into the conflict of art & commerce, fame & failure in America, and the relationship of artist, artwork, and audience. We also talk about the Lynda Barry class that opened his eyes to his own art-making process, what he's learned from making a podcast of his own, the surprise bliss of holding a book-event with no audience, how he's changed through the newsletter he's been keeping up regularly for a dozen-plus years, what his ongoing collage-art has unlocked for him, whether there's such a thing as an artistic dead-end, and more.

In our first episode we talk about what the title of our Podcast means. How we deal with impostor syndrome and which limiting beliefs trip us up.Artists and Books mentioned:Struthless: https://struthless.com/Lynda Barry, book "What it Is": https://g.co/kgs/UMFvRVKey Takeaways1. Feeling like an artist is not a static thing, allow for fluidity, change and growth.2. The value of what you do, is separate from the money you generate from it.3. Instead of asking or answering the question: “What do you do?”, ask “where does your life-force go?”4. Labels become important when you need to claim something out the norm and when you want to be a role model for others.5. Keep showing up and making art in spite of your limiting beliefs.6. If you're growing your beliefs should grow and change with you.7. How people perceive us, isn't necessarily how we feel inside.8. If you're looking for a practical assignment, start with the phrase “I am an artist because”. Write this down several times and fill in your own because.9. To take it to the next level, write it down in the morning, spend your day with the question, then write down the answers at the end of the day.Enjoyed the podcast?

Low Overhead What does creative freedom look like to you? Is it being able to make whatever choices you want, whenever you want, about whatever work you choose to take on? Or is it something more like living where you want, working where you want, and having the space to never have to compromise your creative integrity? We often think the key to creative freedom is more: more income, more career flexibility, bigger, better, and more expansive. But when we are thinking about freedom, we should also think about less: less expense, less responsibility, less dependence. Everything you add to your life requires some degree of maintenance, which is another word for overhead. More things equals more responsibility equals more time spent doing things other than creating. Lynda Barry once said, “The key to eternal happiness is low overhead and no debt.” By reducing your overhead, you give yourself more flexibility to make choices on your own terms without needing to consider how it will affect all those responsibilities. You gain creative freedom. As creative pros, we must ensure that we don't take on so much overhead (literal or metaphorical) that it chokes our creative freedom. QUESTION How might you reduce your overhead so that you have more creative freedom?

Everything Susie deVille makes serves her ultimate mission: To empower entrepreneurs to access their inspiration and creativity.  By developing workshops, offering coaching programs and writing her book, Susie is working to make the world of business a more joyous and innovative place! In this episode, Susie deVille uses her own story to teach us the importance of casting aside perfectionism and taking confident action. Susie is the founder and CEO of the Innovation & Creativity Institute. An author, coach, and business owner who built and sold a highly profitable real estate firm, she has been researching innovation and creativity since 2005. Her first book, Buoyant: The Entrepreneurs Guide to Becoming Wildly Successful, Creative, and Free, has been called The Artist's Way for entrepreneurs. The secret to getting unstuck: Take bold action! Susie teaches business owners to build small daily habits that free us up for more creative thinking-actions like journaling, sketching, and moving our bodies. Ultimately, these bold and messy exercises have a proven impact on our work. By removing ourselves from details and the anxious trap of our thoughts, we free ourselves from limitation and see solutions that were previously unseen. Work, relationships, aspirations and ideas flow easily to us and we approach them with excitement and inspiration! Think you don't have time to play around? This is for you… Susie faces a popular objection from her clients: “I don't have time for these things! I have a job!” But studies about innovation paint an important picture about the value of play. By carving out a few moments to mindlessly create, we unlock parts of our creative brain that will help us solve difficult challenges in our businesses. Small daily actions like Susie's journaling and sketching prompts will send us down a path to becoming more inspired and innovative entrepreneurs. Quotes “My book is written for entrepreneurs who are painfully stuck and crave creativity and inspiration. They believe they have to be more, do more, have more discipline to achieve that. But the book shows us that it's by tapping into that your unbridled creativity that you can access that flow that you're seeking.” “I help people have a whole-brain approach to life and work.” “Once we get clear on our own instincts and strengths, we can leverage that in how we build business partnerships, how we work with our clients, and how we lead strategically.” “When our imagination and intuition come online, something happens in our work that is robust and intoxicating.” “I was experiencing self-doubt, writing a book about self-doubt. I was deep in the details and my perfectionist tendencies took the wheel. It shut off the lights in my brain. But I remembered the way out…I went to my sketchbook and did a 5-minute piece of art. I wasn't thinking about design, I just went wild. I went for it! And I chiseled out the concrete of my self-doubt. I was back in the saddle of my true self.” “There's a reason you're so attracted to entrepreneurship. You have a great idea! You have a desire to create, to serve, and put a positive dent into the universe. You can shape and create a business that serves the kind of life that you want to lead, not the other way around. Design your ultimate life and then shape your business to serve it.” “When we get back into rhythm with our values and our joy, we realize that the magical marketing elixir is us.” “Establish your healthy habits and rituals. Make them non-negotiable.” “Our artistry and creativity give us the ability to get through any challenge.” “Everything in my life was a disaster. But I started with very simple healthy habits and it fed my creativity.” “We have everything we need for the journey already. Once you start moving, the universe sees that you're in the game!” Links mentioned in this episode: Check out the website for the Innovation and Creativity Institute: https://innovationandcreativityinstitute.com Purchase Susie deVille's NEW book and hone your own creativity and inspiration: https://innovationandcreativityinstitute.com/book/  Become a coaching client of Susie deVille or purchase a course on her website: https://innovationandcreativityinstitute.com/work-with-susie/  Follow the Creativity and Innovation Institute on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/innovationandcreativityinstitute   Connect with Susie deVille on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susiedeville/  You can follow Susie on Twitter at @susiedeVille Susie recommends the work of Lynda Barry in uncovering your own creativity.

Creativity and inspiration cannot be bought, but they can be learned. Susie deVille is in the business of teaching entrepreneurs how to be more creative, innovative and inspired! Her methods have freed hundreds of business owners from perfectionism and turned them into unique, inventive leaders. Susie is the founder and CEO of the Innovation & Creativity Institute. An author, coach, and business owner who built and sold a highly profitable real estate firm, she has been researching innovation and creativity since 2005. Her first book, Buoyant: The Entrepreneurs Guide to Becoming Wildly Successful, Creative, and Free, has been called The Artist's Way for entrepreneurs. Why is creativity important for business? Susie's clients want to have better ideas, solve problems with ease and become exceptional leaders.  All the skills that make up a great leader-The ability to think quickly when challenges arise, inventing new products and services, and ultimately serving clients more effectively-begin with our ability to be creative!  By uncovering our own profound sense of inspiration and intuition, we become magnetic: People want to hire, invest in or work for us. Creativity is a skill that anyone can develop! If inspiration doesn't strike, how do you find it? Susie has built her career around teaching solutions.  Whether you feel like you're not a creative person or you're just feeling stuck lately, Susie has great advice for you: Stop trying to make “good” things and just focus on the act of making!  In this episode, Susie deVille gives quality exercises for how you can become unstuck by embracing the messy, imperfect and exciting parts of the creative process. Quotes “Once we remember who we truly are, we become insanely attractive to the marketplace. People can feel us even before we speak.” “This is a process of the archeology of the self. As we move through life, things accumulate which are not our true selves. They are the expectations of others, cultural messages and things told to us by parents, teachers and family members. Through my work with clients, we reconnect them with their innermost playful, joyful self. We then direct and shape how they build their businesses.” “We have to tap into our inspired creativity. We need to breathe in what fills us. It can be absorbing or creating beautiful art, resting, or spending time in the park. Through these practices, we anchor ourselves in rituals that bring us back to ourselves.” “When we begin focusing on inspiration instead of more productivity, we come home to ourselves. We begin to profoundly trust our own decision-making. It's the direct result of making things.” “Making something is the bridge across the river of self-doubt. It gives a sense of possibility.” “Once we have our sacred inspirational energy back, we have to protect it and continue to fuel it. We set boundaries and become more mindful about scheduling things.” “There is an addiction to the adrenaline of overdoing. We get a charge out of opening our planner and seeing all the stuff. It's a socially-sanctioned way to hide out. Especially if we're carrying some trauma, we load up that schedule.” “My clients are often overachievers who believe that they can achieve their way to a sense of self and intrinsic value. But it's a fool's errand. You cannot give yourself intrinsic value by doing. You have to know that you have ‘value' without achieving anything.” “My clients push back on the joyful, easy path because it sounds frivolous! They think it's for crafty people with time to kill, retired people or children. This is the hardest part of the process - we have to shift and undo this cultural training.” “People believe that what you make has to be quote-on-quote ‘good'. We tend to believe that the product is what has value. But I'm more interested in what's happening inside of my soul.” Links mentioned in this episode: Check out the website for the Innovation and Creativity Institute: https://innovationandcreativityinstitute.com/ Purchase Susie deVille's NEW book and hone your own creativity and inspiration: https://innovationandcreativityinstitute.com/book/  Become a coaching client of Susie deVille or purchase a course on her website: https://innovationandcreativityinstitute.com/work-with-susie/  Follow the Creativity and Innovation Institute on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/innovationandcreativityinstitute   Connect with Susie deVille on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susiedeville/  You can follow Susie on Twitter at @susiedeVille Susie recommends the work of Lynda Barry in uncovering your own creativity.

History of National Poetry Writing Month National Poetry Writing Month (also known as NaPoWriMo) is a creative writing project held annually in April in which participants attempt to write a poem each day for one month. NaPoWriMo coincides with the National Poetry Month in the United States of America and Canada. NaPoWriMo, or National Poetry Writing Month, is an annual project in which participating poets attempt to write a poem a day for the month of April. This website is owned and operated by Maureen Thorson, a poet living in Washington, DC. Inspired by NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month), she started writing a poem a day for the month of April back in 2003, posting the poems on her blog. When other people started writing poems for April and posting them on their own blogs, Maureen linked to them. After a few years, so many people were doing NaPoWriMo that Maureen decided to launch an independent website for the project. My History with National Poetry Writing Month I started writing poetry in 1988 after I had been exposed to T.S. Elliot in my honors English class in high school. In 1992 I started reading my poetry publicly at Espresso Europia Coffee Shop in Abilene Tx while I was in the United States Air Force. This continued for many years when I ran my own poetry reading at Cannova's in Loves Park Illinois and attended the poetry slams at The Green Mill in Chicago Illinois. While living in Rockford Illinois I published my first book of poetry Throwing Yourself at the Ground and Missing in 2007 followed by Postcards From Someone You Don't Know in 2008 Wisdom From the Sack in 2010 and Shaving Crop Circles In My Chest Hair in 2017. You can get copies of all of these books in my merch section. In 2009 I started participating in National Poetry Writing Month which became the basis for my book Wisdom From the Sack and Shaving Crop Circles in My Chest Hair. In 2020 I started publishing my podcast version of the challenge and those can be viewed here for 2020 and here for 2021. April 17th Poetry Prompt And now here's our daily (optional) prompt. This is a fun one – it's a prompt developed by the comic artist Lynda Barry, and it asks you to think about dogs you have known, seen, or heard about, and then use them as a springboard into wherever they take you. April 17th Poem Obidiah  17 April 2022  The first and only canine that allowed me to be their caretaker for a short while  While we were staying at the parsonage because my father couldn't hold a job  You were eternally happy, and I was not the kindest soul at the time  This was an effort by my father to spite my mother  Just another one of their never-ceasing battles  He knew she was allergic to pet dander  And he wanted someone to show him, unconditional love  But it was up to me to feed, clean the mess and walk you  It pained me that we had to keep you in the basement  Watching you run up the stairs as I left for school  Hearing you scratching at the door all night during storms  But because I was afraid of the dark I never came to your rescue  I don't remember asking for a pet  As I knew this domicile was temporary  But there we were, and you came into our lives  Nipping my father's fingers  Licking my face for hours  You were the only friend at the time  And then one day after school you were gone  My brother said I left the basement door open  And you escaped sometime during the day  But the locks were still in place and the screen door was rusted shut  So, I took my beating that night  In the shadow of the church that housed us  We named you after a minor prophet in the Old Testament  One of the shortest books in the bible  It wouldn't have mattered if I had known you were released to fend for yourself  There wasn't much this 12-year-old could do to keep you alive  And I played stupid when one of the kids at school   Told me about a stray dog that his family had taken in  Reaching Out To reach out to me, email timothy@createartpodcast.com I would love to hear about your journey and what you are working on. If you would like to be on the show or have me discuss a topic that is giving you trouble write in and let's start that conversation.

We kick off True Stories, a series on autobiographical and nonfiction comics, with a look at Harvey Pekar's American Splendor! While not the first comics work to chronicle the real-life exploits of its creator, American Splendor broke ground as an ongoing series that told an impressively diverse range of stories within the confines of an autobiographical, slice-of-life title. Along the way, it also made him a minor celebrity—first through a series of appearances on Late Night With David Letterman and later via a 2003 feature film starring Paul Giamatti as Harvey. From observational musings about everyday moments to warts-and-all depictions of Pekar's obsessions, grudges and personal foibles, American Splendor helped to redefine what comics could be and do. But is that enough to help it survive on those mean streets known as ... The Comics Canon? In This Episode! “You're doing a bit!” “This guy's a huge JERK!” What can Wallace Shawn do for ME?!!

Hi, it’s me, WendyMac. It’s episode 3 of the DrawTogether Podcast! It’s also my birthday week. To celebrate, I wanted to do one of my favorite drawing exercises with you, which also happens to be a DrawTogether classic: the world famous Heart Spiral. But let’s do it with a twist… If you’ve watched DrawTogether, you probably know the Heart Spiral was inspired by cartoonist, writer and educator (and DT patron saint) Lynda Barry. Lynda believes drawing spirals helps people get out of their head and into their bodies. (We strongly agree!) In this episode, we meet another artist with a spiral drawing practice: Louise Bourgeois. Louise made drawings constantly from her home in New York (and before that France) until she passed away at 98. Best known for her large scale installation and sculptures, she also drew, carved, printed and painted spirals using all sorts of materials She even created spirals using text. She said, “I love the spiral. It represents control and freedom.” Louise believed the direction in which you draw a spiral changes how you feel: when you draw outside in, you feel in control. Draw inside out, you feel a sense of freedom. In today’s DrawTogether podcast, we explore Louise’s hypothesis. I’d love to know - did drawing a heart spiral change the way you feel? Did you notice a difference between the two? Let me know in the comments below. And I’d also love to see your finished drawings. Post them on instagram and tag @drawtogether.studio to share them with the DT community.Happy Diwali!Later this weekend, subscribers will receive a special post celebrating Diwali by illustrator Ishita Jain. Become a subscriber-supporter to get more cool stuff like this, and help DrawTogether keep going and growing. Thanks to Chris Colin for the music, Thao Nguyen for the DrawTogether theme song, and Amy Standen for the mix. Everything is better when we Draw (all sorts of spirals) Together!

I asked my followers on Instagram where in their life anxiety was most likely to pop up, the most common response was at work. Dealing with a difficult boss, a confrontation colleague that you don't get along with, anxiety about proving your worth in your role and so much more. Lynda Barry - communications expert and career consultant - has been on the series before when we discussed career related anxiety, but that was around getting a job, moving jobs, wondering what to with your career on the whole. Here we drill down further into the job you are in, the day to day anxieties that crop up and can wreak havoc on our wellbeing. Lynda offers plenty of practical advice that should help.

Lynda Barry's Making Comics is a how-to graphic novel guide for people who gave up on drawing.

Lynda Barry and Chris Ware discuss the culture of comics, and their new books, Making Comics and Rusty Brown. 

For the past six years cartoonist Sharon Rosenzweig has been making comics about her mother and what Sharon refers to as their “adventures with Alzheimer's Disease.” When her mother entered hospice, Sharon's daily practice of drawing her and her caregivers became a way to connect with her when other forms of communication were lost. But after her mother died, Sharon found it impossible to continue drawing. She found the way back to her art through a warm-up ritual suggested by the cartoonist Lynda Barry. On the show Sharon tells us about that ritual, how it helped her grieve and how anyone with an interest in drawing can begin making a comic. She shares the story behind some of her comics, including “Mom's Flock,” “Judgment Call” and “The Last Ride of Mo Rosenzweig,” all of which appear in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Sharon's work is part of a movement called Graphic Medicine, defined as the use of comics to tell stories about illness and health. Her graphic memoir, based on her drawings about and with her mother, has the working title “Spiral Notebook.” Link to Sharon's comics in Annals of Internal Medicine: https://bit.ly/2OcIR3V Sharon's spiral drawings: https://bit.ly/2NyCTNN Also mentioned in the show: “The Comic Torah: Reimagining the Very Good Book”: https://amzn.to/2MzBQc3 “Syllabus” (Lynda Barry): https://amzn.to/2NgxfRd Music: “Dryness (wet mix)” by Ketsa | CC BY NC ND | Free Music Archive

Todd and Cathy discuss criticism, why it hurts so much and why it's an inevitable part of life. They discuss why it's important to speak up, even in the face of criticism, and how to offer constructive criticism rather than blame and guilt. They share personal stories about how they talk to each other about their pain, and why most of the pain stems from childhood. They discuss the wisdom of Elizabeth Gilbert and cartoonist Lynda Barry and how they deal with criticism in their creative lives.
