Willberg's creative work focuses on the intersections between the body, science, and artistic practice. As a cartoonist she has made three volumes of self-care comics for artists, a series of autobiographical comics about life as a massage therapist, and a gag cartoon/performance series centered on nding the humor in disease and physiology (Pathology Laffs). Her comics appear in The Intima: A Journal of Narrative Medicine, the anthology series SubCultures, the book Awesome 'Possum Vol. 3, and the upcoming Comics For Choice, and Graphic Canon. She is the rst-ever artist-in-residence at the New York Academy of Medicine Library.

Reviews

"Draw Longer, Draw Stronger is a fat little tome that should have a place on every cartoonist's shelf"-Jessica Abel, Drawing Words & Writing Pictures, La Perdida, Radio: An Illustrated Guide "I was saved by Kriota Willberg's brilliant book, Draw Longer, Draw Stronger, which illustrates beautifully how and why you should care for your body as an artist. It applies to anyone who sits and works with their hands a lot (use a computer for work, do you?) - I can't recommend it highly enough."-Georgia Webber, Dumb
