I'll Run Till the Sun Goes Down is a searingly honest account of David's struggle to overcome his crippling mental illness. After years of hopeless despair, bleak hospitalizations, and shattered dreams, he is finally saved by his art. The paintbrush becomes his lifeline.
Richly illustrated with the work of the artists who have inspired him as well as samples of his own drawings and paintings, this memoir offers both a compelling read and a visual story of David's courageous battle with depression.
Advance Praise
“This is a ground-breaking book that is visually stunning, psychologically hard-hitting, and emotionally mesmerizing. The stiff labels of PTSD, Panic Attacks, and Depression are brought to life within the state of being immobilized by fear and panic . . . As much as the author presents beautiful and telling artwork (both his and the work of other artists), as well as the relief that the creative process brings to his life, he learns unequivocally that he has an illness that cannot be eschewed away by just ‘thinking differently’ . . . It’s a stellar journey into the harsh reality of mental illness, the resilience of the human spirit, and the healing power of art.”—US Review of Books
