Gemma Correll

I was on Instagram and saw a post that Rubyetc posted about a competition to draw a cartoon/comic about life on the web (which I may yet enter - more on that l8r), and I went to the web page for details and clicked on a link for examples of what could be submitted. I found this article about Gemma Correll's work.

She says in the article that she hopes using humour and straightforwardness when dealing with taboo topics is helpful for people, which I think it definitely is. The humour and simple low-fi cartoon style make the images more relatable to a wide audience, and opens up the conversation for serious issues such as mental health. 

This is also related to the article Leah showed me about illustration and mental health, which I made a post about a while ago.
