Episode 0002

Today I’m so excited to announce that I am co-creating a picture book with friend and illustrator Gracie Klumpp. 🥳

This is the second episode of Neurodivergent Space Time. This is a little experiment in unmasked podcasting I started last month. If you missed the first episode you can listen here.

A peek at some of the concept art…

Sketchbook surrounded by materials. Pencil drawn face with wide eyes and jagged lines. Text reads: Without modulation you would sense every little thing at once and you wouldn't be able to focus. This is called overstimulation.
White hands illustrating green and blue brain on a black character. Other characters include a character with coral flowers in brain. And a a figure with eyes closed and orange jagged lines surrounding their head.
