Everyone Shits

Its true.....they do! From the man up the road to the Queen of England. I have designed a series of prints for @redbubble to raise awareness of living with invisible illnesses. I have diverticulitis and IBS and it is painful, uncomfortable and just plan sucks.  

[zaracarpenter]

My new collection of prints for @redbubble is all about living with invisible illness and being awesome doing it. You are not alone, we are warriors and we are fabulous! (The "Pain Killer print is really talking to me today whilst I'm here in hospital)

My incredible husband is giving a talk this Wednesday at The London Institute of Photography. 

He will be showing images from the book he is working on about our life together living with chronic pain. When you suffer from chronic illness its not just you who goes through it but the people closest to you too, we fight it together.

You can still buy tickets here (£3)
