My BPPV experience (Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)

Some of you were shocked to learn that I have stones in my ears but actually everybody has them. In normal circumstances, they stay inside a chamber with a membrane to keep them from going out. However when a person ages or suffer from a head trauma, these small stones may dislodge and float around in the ear fluid tubes that disturbs the body's balance system (aka vestibular system) and the mind perceives the room as spinning although it isn't, aka vertigo giddiness. The term BPPV means the vertigo is aggravated by certain head positions, comes suddenly and although it seems serious, it is actually not life threatening.

Drawing Tokyo Tourist map demo

Image
A few of my fans on Patreon requested me to upload screen captures of me working, so I decided to do one of the pages of my second book that I was working on. The second part is a travel guide to Japan and this one showed how I came to design the map (which turned out to be drawing a Totoro fanart...). This is 17min long.
