“I Put the Can in Cancer: A Journey Through Pictures” by Christian “Patch” Patchell

This book is a visual journey through illustrator and cartoonist Christian “Patch”ell’s life changing battle with cancer. Patch puts words to images to tell the tale of an artist’s life before, during and after his illness. The soul of this book is the twenty-five sketches he created throughout treatments of radiation and chemotherapy. Alongside each drawing are the words that these pictures now conjure as the artist recalls stories of fear, friendship, family and love. Every purchase helps me towards a second print run and gives me the ability to donate several to charities and hospitals. (112 pgs, full color)
