BALBOA PARK #35 - Self Archiving: A Lifetime of Graphic Journaling
<p>Hey My Friend,</p><p>I just dropped a new episode of Balboa Park, and this one is extra special.</p><p>Recently, I was organizing boxes my father sent me after selling his house. Inside, I found journals from when I was 8, 12, and beyond. As I flipped through them with my friend, she pointed out something that shook me: I’ve been graphic journaling my whole life. It made me wonder—how do we archive ourselves? How does documenting our emotions and experiences shape how we see ourselves over time?</p><p>In this episode, I explore personal archives, queerness, and memory—plus, I’d love to hear how you archive yourself.</p><p>🎧 Watch it here or on Youtube or Listen here or on every platform </p><p>📸 and since you’re a newsletter subscriber, here for you the images:</p><p></p><p>Let’s talk about it. How do you archive yourself?</p><p> Join the conversation in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.patreon.com/graphicjournalclub">Graphic Journal Club on Patreon</a> </p><p>Let me know what you think! And if you enjoy it, share it with a friend 💛</p><p>Nicoz</p><p></p><p><strong>P.S.</strong> My new <strong>Sleeping in a Binder</strong> and<strong> I Dreamed Myself Real</strong> t-shirts are live! Printed on amazing <strong>Comfort Colors</strong> tees, (<strong>Sleeping In a Binder</strong> is with simple <strong>front prints and no logo</strong> to keep them affordable while<strong> I Dreamed Myself Real </strong>is a litte bit more fancy with logo and <strong>“we are one” trans support logo</strong>) . Perfect as a <strong>coming-out tee, a gift, or just a way to support my work.</strong> 💖 Every little bit helps, and if a few people grab one—well, you know the magic of small things multiplying. ✨</p><p>Grab yours here: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nicozbalboastudio.com/store">nicozbalboastudio.com/store</a></p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
