'Paper Vernacular'

In a sequential art show in Joplin, MO at the Spiva Center for the Arts. 'Paper Vernacular', with Emi Gennis and Cole Closser. Opening this weekend, reception is Friday evening (January 5th).

It may not help anybody, I don't know. I'll probably take it down again one of these days. I’ve been fighting depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts nearly all of my life. I first felt something ‘wrong’ in my head when I was nine years old, although at the time (and for many years afterwards) I didn’t know what ‘it’ was. I didn’t have a label for it. I would suddenly feel sad or scared for no reason. I was frozen with fear and confusion much of the time and I couldn’t understand how everyone else around me could be so happy. To top it off, for some reason I would feel guilt and shame for feeling that way. It was pretty confus
