Manic Chapbook- Absurd and Eclectic Oddities A mystical collection of pencil drawings, mostly rendered during the manic phases of my life. Since the inception of my "cyclothymic disorder," I have managed my mania through drawing. Although there was a time in my life I was so depressed and anxious that I couldn't draw, my desire re-emerged at the time of my diagnosis. Over the years, I was prescribed a myriad of medications, all of which were detrimental to my mental, emotional and spiritual health. Since my disorder wasn't as debilitating as for some people, I was able to refrain from taking prescription medicine. I hope to share some of my artwork with the world and participate in this thing called life.
