NOTES FROM SAW
Here’s the place to check out everything that’s been going on at SAW including what we're learning, reading and drawing.
Drawing Health with Georgia Webber
Creativity and health practices come together every Saturday, 10 AM Eastern, forever.

Drawing Health is an ongoing series of live practice sessions that connect health and creativity for a sustainable and satisfying art practice.

On Sunday November 13th, I'll be doing a Q and A with Heather-Hopp Bruce from the Boston Globe at Brookline Booksmith. We worked together when I serialized early excerpts of the graphic novel with them (you can read those online for free I think, here and here, though there is sometimes a paywall.)
