Is This Vincent?

Is This Vincent?

Far too often in popular culture the pain of mental illness is conflated with artistic prowess. This short booklet seeks to examine and interrogate the myth of the tortured artist; why it exists, why it is incorrect, and why it is harmful.

For this project in addition to the writing and illustrations I created a font from my handwriting, in order to keep a sense of stylistic cohesion in the final copy.
