Brain Disorder Art

Brainwave Cartoons

Abstract Cartooning by H Mikel Feilen

Welcome to Issue One of Brainwave Cartoons. This art is categorized as Brain Disorder Art, due to the fact I have epilepsy.

Because of my malady, I have tremors in my hands from the medicine I take, making them shake involuntarily unless they are moving fluidly.

Being a dancer, my entire adult life, fluidity in my hands and arms was part of the job. Great for hiding my shakiness.

When I draw it is in fluid and uninterrupted lines. Although, sometimes when I stop my hands like to have a good shake or two. Overall, it doesn’t bother me whatsoever.

The only time it bugs me is if I am sitting in a chair with my hand in my lap and it begins to shake up and down. It looks like I am playing with myself, and I have a really small peter.

I hope you enjoy the madness.

Go ride the Waves!

All drawings are by the author.

Wave One:

It can sure feel like a prison sentence when you have a permanent disability. One must remember the disorder is what you have. It is not who you are.

Unless the disorder is a political party infarction. Don’t ask! It’s not pretty and there is no cure.

Wave Two:

He released the mask and looking into the mirror he yelled out, “Look what this mask did to my hair!”

Wave Three:

The two trees talking in the grove story.

One tree was a mighty Oak, and the other tree was a Maple planted side by side in the wooded glen.

When the Maple found out the Knotty Pine had been booted out of the grove, he told the Oak he was upset.

The Maple said to the mighty Oak, “She may have been Knotty, but she was my kind of Knotty. He said he was sure the Pine, with those incredible set of Knotty branches, would fall for him. The mighty Oak said, “For goodness' sake Maple, don’t be a Sap!”

Wave Four:

Some of the new high-tech cannabis strains are capable of twisting your brain and styling your hair. Bitchin’.

Wave Five:

Motivational seminars suck! It is verbal cocaine sucked through your ears. The high is as real as snorting a line.

After the event, the buzz will last for as long as $1200 worth of motivation smack dollars should last — a day or two.

Then keeping your chin up after Elvis has left the building can only be done one way — manually.

Wave Six:

You must use extreme caution with cannabis edibles. This is a self-portrait after eating half a tray of pot brownies and drinking a glass of THC coconut oil.

Unfortunately, some of the effects are irreversible.

Peace, Love, and Unconditional Happiness!
