And now for the famous cortisone weight gain.  I started taking steroids when I was 15 years old and  gained a huge amount of weight over the summer.  This artwork captures a totally manic and emotional teenager finding a quiet, private moment to draw a dotted line on her thigh, wishing that it would be magically cut out.

I drew this heartbreaking memory on  a page of  the 4th chapter, Calypso, where Joyce describes the scene of Leopold  Bloom waiting in line at the butcher.
