Julia Wutschke's new comic: “Why is your arm so crooked?”

Discover Julia's wonderful comic about living with brachial plexus palsy.

Today we would like to present a fantastic project by our talented art director Julia Wutschke, which she created as part of a university project. Working with renowned illustrator and comic artist Ulli Lust, she has created a wonderful comic that sheds light on her life with plexus paresis in a sensitive and positive way.

Plexus palsy is a condition in which certain nerves on one side of the arm are damaged. It often occurs at birth, but can also be caused by accidents, such as motorcycle accidents. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of this condition and it often goes unnoticed. With her comic, Julia not only wants to raise awareness of plexus palsy, but also encourage and promote self-confidence among those affected. Because “despite” her disability, Julia has never let anything hold her back and has followed her own path!

Julia joined us in 2017 as a media design trainee and has been studying in this field since graduating. As Art Director at Drive, she has already designed numerous outstanding projects, including the yearbook of the German Tennis Association in Hanover and the websites for Europa fördert Kultur and Creative Europe Desk KULTUR.

We are incredibly proud of Julia's talent and her ability to communicate important issues in a creative and touching way and raise awareness of them. The comic “Why is your arm so crooked?” is not only a personal story about Julia's life with plexus paresis, but also a call to bring this little-known disability more into focus. We stand behind Julia and her valuable work, which contributes to making our society more open and inclusive.

We cordially invite you to discover Julia's comic “Why is your arm so crooked?” Together, we can raise awareness and support those affected to confidently follow their own path.
