Art Journal Schizophrenia

Art Journal Schizophrenia is a brutally honest diary of a young Chinese Canadian adult’s struggle with chronic schizophrenia. On the outside, Sam Ko is like any other self-aware hipster who asserts his love for outsider art, black skinny jeans, and shoegaze. But in his head, Sam struggles daily with increasingly persistent and disruptive psychosis. Even with the support of his drug dealing brother, Rollie, and a nurturing single mom, Sam’s life descends into a downwards spiral of events as he attempts to self medicate through an assortment of street drugs to cope with his unreality.
