“The Feeling Without a Name” (8-Page Comic)

PLEASE READ!

“The Feeling Without A Name” is a short nonfiction comic I created in 2022. It’s based on a poem I wrote in 2016, at the age of 21. When writing it, I was reeling from a metamorphosing that I experienced as a private sufferer of PGAD. PGAD is a physical condition that affects people born with vaginas. Because the symptoms force the sufferer to feel unwanted genital arousal regardless of the situation, this condition affects mental health as well as physical health. Risks associated with PGAD include depression, anxiety, self harm, PTSD, gender dysphoria/dysmorphia, identity crisis, and, sometimes, suicide. “The Feeling Without A Name” comic was made to provide visual aids to my poem, which admits a longing for liberation from my mutinous body.

I made the digital PDF free on Gumroad. Contains the following: medical sexual trauma, blood.

It measures just 9 inches in circumference, weighs only about 5 ounces, and is made of cork wound with woolen yarn, covered with two layers of cowhide, and stitched by hand precisely 216 times.

It travels 60 feet 6 inches from the pitcher’s mound to home--and it can cover that distance at nearly 100 miles an hour. Along the way it can be made to twist, spin, curve, wobble, rise, or fall away.

The bat is made of turned ash, less than 42 inches long, not more than 2¾ inches in diameter. The batter has only a few thousandths of a second to decide to hit the ball. And yet the men who fail seven times out of ten are considered the game’s greatest heroes.

Baseball is played everywhere: in parks and playgrounds and prison yards, in back alleys and farmer’s fields, by small children and old men, by raw amateurs and millionaire professionals.

It is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed, and the only one in which the defense has the ball. It follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of springtime and ending with the hard facts of autumn.

Americans have played baseball for more than 200 years, while they conquered a continent, warred with one another and with enemies abroad, struggled over labor and civil rights and the meaning of freedom.

At the game’s heart lie mythic contradictions: a pastoral game, born in crowded cities; an exhilarating democratic sport that tolerates cheating and has excluded as many as it has included; a profoundly conservative game that sometimes manages to be ahead of its time.

It is an American odyssey that links sons and daughters to fathers and grandfathers. And it reflects a host of age-old American tensions: between workers and owners, scandal and reform, the individual and the collective.

It is a haunted game in which every player is measured against the ghosts of all who have gone before. Most of all, it is about time and timelessness, speed and grace, failure and loss, imperishable hope--and coming home.

Welcome to Bug's World! a little peek into the creepy crawly, the wriggly, the itsy bitsy, and the wonderful!

Process and more under the cut 🎷 🐛

this is a project that I've been eeking out time for for just around a year now. It's been tussling with my day job, dealing with graduating from university, and some very intensive self doubt but it has ultimately triumphed!

my initial sketches and pitch blurb came after struggling to complete some concrete concepts for my 2022 grad thesis (which ultimately became a bit of a mess anyways but I digress). It suffered most ultimately from my struggle with the space in between sketching and exploring and being in a place where I can begin the final artwork. I'm relieved these pieces made it out of "stage two" and live to see the light of day <3

Anybody interested in a YA graphic novel about what design thinking is, how modern technology aids design, and how visual and interaction design solve real-life issues? Basically, a book that let’s you explore play as prototyping, go through the creative process of problem solving, think MORE about the little details in life like a designer.
