SSDI Blue Book Cards-In-Progress

Here are my SSDI Blue Book illustrations-in-progress, of categories 1-7. I’m going to go back and make the backgrounds and labels a bit more consistent; the two’s have unnecessary headers I will remove. Next up is category 8, Skin Disorders!

Thus far I’ve noticed people with chronic illnesses find these amusing, and those without find them disturbingly grotesque. Just you wait! Sooner or later you’ll get one illness/injury/incurable disabling condition or another, and then you’ll laugh along with the rest of us.

  1. Did nursing for 45 years. These visuals are fantastic ?they say it all and even a patient might be able to understand what it means more so with the visuals because the words don’t seem to work. Your body of work belongs in a museum ????????????
