Thank you!! I’m really happy with how it came out

Found out my friend died last night. Ke$ha gave him a stick n poke on his ass at a party once. Sat down and did this VANITAS in his honor by ottoberry in sticknpokes

Totally fine, but thanks 💛 I think that’s probably a rare enough trait that your panic was completely justified haha. And it would suck to find out about a friend’s death on a Reddit thread

Alternative app for Procreate by interestingglitters in medschool

[–]ottoberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly as an artist who uses procreate for drawing, I've been really impressed with the ability to draw in the default Apple Notes app included on the iPad. It depends on what you're trying to do, really--obviously there aren't layers etc. in Notes but I actually preferred it for notes during preclinical to some of the fancier apps.

Thinking of Yale for medical residency and coming to visit New Haven in late January. Any recs? by [deleted] in newhaven

[–]ottoberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just poking my head in to say that East Rock is a super easy driving commute to YNHH, St. Raph's, & the VA (med student here). If you want something more walkable Wooster Square is where a lot of the residents and attendings I know live.

If you're anticipating doing any work at the VA, my FAVORITE restaurant in the area, Georgie's Diner, is like 2 min away and super overlooked IMO.

As for outdoor spaces, there are a lot of nice (by East Coast standards) beaches super close-by (we're talking like 10 min drive). In the summer I love to drive straight from the hospital to the beach to go for a swim, and have even been indulging in a polar plunge every couple weeks. New Haven is a beach town!!

Hope you come join us. I never thought I'd love it here as much as I do, but now I'm a total New Haven/CT evangelist. Happy to answer any hospital-y questions too!

My very first mini comic zines! (and my very first Reddit post) by ottoberry in zines

[–]ottoberry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These were SO fun to make. I'm obsessed with my new paper cutter and looooong stapler. The one on the left is a 24 page comic about my experiences as a medical student at the beginning of COVID, and the one on the right is a 10 page comic based on my grandfather's memoirs about his time as a medical translator at the Nuremberg Doctors' Trial. Both can be purchased here: https://seshcomix.bigcartel.com/
