A comic zine that follows the inner journey of the artist’s experience with mental illness, the medical system, and his struggle to be understood.
”Nosdivra is my dream project. Starting over, I bought a mobile home in the suburbs. The first of 13+ zines created in 2002- 2004. The title is the name of Arvidson backwards - it is a toon telling of the life turned inside out by Mental Illness. The book is a witness to how art can save. I am a current success, a husband to my beautiful wife - father to a young daughter and the keeper of a rescued trickster named Pouncer the Cat.” -Joel Arvidson
