Join local author and artist, Steve Weiss, for an introduction to his graphic novel, Psych-itorials, which beautifully and playfully depicts Mental Health struggles and how they affect the brain and everyday life. Weiss's art portrays a topic that is often difficult to discuss or comprehend.

A nature enthusiast and hiking lover, some of his earliest childhood memories include looking for lizards, fire ants, fossils, and hunting for snakes and turtles.
