HOLIDAY SHOPPING 2020

 'TIS THE SEASON!

Thanksgiving is over! Now we have entered The Holiday Shopping Zone! (Ominous music would play here if I had the tech for it.) What do you get for colleague, friend, or loved one with a charming geek/eclectic interest in graphic medicine, anatomy, pandemic compliance, crafting AND fashion -- put together?!?

Here are some possibilities, mostly UNDER $20.

FACE MASKS AND T-SHIRTS

Go to Kriota.Threadless.com for anatomically whimsical Napping Cat shirts, using an illustration from the Cat Friends... mini comic listed below. Click the links on the Threadless site for many styles and colors. Prices vary with style.

"I 💜 your Lungs" face masks, modeled by Miriam Leuchter,

or Crabby, Minigolf, or blue Rose Hip face masks are also available on my Threadless shop. There are a variety of mask types to choose from. I HIGHLY recommend only double layer or thicker masks and gaiters. Prices vary with style.

SELF-CARE FOR DESK-BOUND CREATIVES

DRAW STRONGER: SELF-CARE FOR CARTOONISTS AND OTHER VISUAL ARTISTS is  a comprehensive self-care guide for artists interested in preventing repetitive stress injuries and sustaining a pain free life long drawing practice. It's the perfect gift for artists, writers, and creative workers spending long hours focused on making small scale projects. I've also received a lot of praise for the book from people working at home in less creative areas during the pandemic! Let's face it - now that we're struggling with a pandemic we are all focusing on small scale projects for hours a day. Between the time we spend drawing, texting, needle working, mask sewing, painting, game playing, and laptopping, this book may be for everyone in the world. Price  $16.95

XMAS COMICS

Stubb and Leski's Catsmas can't be found on my Artists Page on the Birdcage Bottom Books site (for
some wacky reason) but click on the link for a description of this adorable stocking stuffer of a mini comic! Is it really graphic medicine? Well...maybe incidentally since our adorable cat heroes are amputees. But the book is not about disability. It's about a pair of cats looking for the perfect Christmas gift for their humans. Read the comic via this link before you consider giving this book to young children. Mewy Catsmas! It's $6.00.

You can visit my Artists Page at Birdcage Bottom for the following and more!

ANATOMY COMICS

Pair up a Napping Cat anatomical T-shirt with Cat Friends, Bird Acquaintances, and Their Human Furniture. My cat Leski came up with the idea for this book while I was working on a project for Movement Science Made Simple. Think of this comic as as a neo-anatomist picture book! It's $6.00

Cadaver Diaries is my latest publication. Perfect for anatomy students, bioethicists, massage therapists, and people interested in human dissection, i.e. practically everybody! 😉 The illustrations are from sketches I made in cadaver labs between 2004 and 2019. $10.00 

Anatomical Triangles Of The Neck: a selection of love stories take the reader through diagrams of muscular anatomical triangles found in (my) neck, accompanied by short narratives about lovers triangles. Only $3.00

FEMINIST COMICS FOR ANY GENDER

Go to my Artist Page for all my comics about gender, "women's work" like embroidery, and unethical research on enslaved women. Some books are all three topics blended together.

Embroidery Lab: The Medical History Nerd's Introduction to Medical Needlework. $4.00

Silver Wire has the honor of being listed on the BCALA and the ALA Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table: Black Lives Matter Reading List. $10.00

The Wandering Uterus: Furor Uterinus and contemporary applications of ancient medical wisdom. The title says it all, doesn't it? This mini comic explores a diagnostic standard of women's medicine that was honored by the medical profession, across the ("known") world for millennia! Learn about the scope of diseases caused by the wandering uterus! $5.00

The perfect gifts for the graphic medicine/anatomy buff/bioethicist/needleworkers in your life!! Happy Holidays!
