As I worked on this story, I was reminded of how valuable working materially is to my spirit. As so many cartoonists seems to be shifting to procreate, I seem to be all the more affirmed in my material practice. #MelissaFebos book #BodyWork has been really affirming to me as a memoirist and artist, highlighting the valuable visceral act of creating—that you know you are doing your real work when it feels good in your body. Listen to your body
