The Daily Cartoonist: Drawing on through Parkinson's

 Here is a link to a story about my struggle to draw with Parkinson's Disease. the story is from "The Daily Cartoonist" a Web journal concerning the world of professional cartooning. It was occasioned by the release of the documentary "Matters of Mind, My Parkinson's" which follows three families and their efforts to cope with PD. The show is part of the PBS Independent Lens series, and will be broadcast nation-wide this coming Monday, April 8th. You can find  the broadcast time in your area by checking the listing in your local PBS station's Web site. You should also be able to stream the film at your leisure following the broadcast through the PBS app which you can download here.

This is just cool

Michael Scammell who recently wrote a well-received biography of Arthur Koestler asked if he could display my Koestler caricature on his blog about the author. Of course I said yes. I did the drawing as part of an ongoing series of portraits of famous people with Parkinson's Disease. You can see more of this series at my Parkinson's Disease blog "Off and On, The Alaska Parkinson's Rag".
