Thesis Character Boards

Creating art has always been a form of expression and coping for me since I was four years old and diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. As a child I remember wondering why there were no heroes or characters who had type 1 diabetes, or any other sort of chronic physical or mental condition. I remember wishing there was a comic book about a superhero with a chronic illness, something that accurately depicted a chronic Illness condition and made the superhero powerful at the same time. Now, eighteen years later, I can finally make my dream a reality.
