Jaatinen, My Rosy Road - How brain infection changed me for good : comic

Äni’s graphic novel My Rosy Road centers around a tragic event that almost ended her life and in so doing changed it completely. The graphic novel and the art exhibition conveys the emotions and experiences of what it’s like to go through a serious neurological disorder - to lose all the capabilities you take for granted - and then slowly win them back. My Rosy Road is a story that isn’t actually very rosy at all. It was a unique experience which ultimately became a turning point in Äni’s life, which the illustrated memoir conveys in a number of ways. Äni is a Finnish artist and graphic designer who’s earlier works consist of paintings in the TYKS hematology ward, coloring books, live illustrations and artistic collaborations with companies such as Microsoft and Huawei. With the help of our friends and supporters we have made a successful Generosity campaign to fund free copies of this comic to be sent out to hospitals around the world, in order to bring awareness, peer support and hope. Thank to you everyone!
