Each essay is accompanied by beautiful, powerful, and hilarious illustrations by artists from all over.  <\/p>\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/da-alex-citrin-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n\n\n<p>But beyond her talent as an art director, Alex Citrin&#8217;s illustrations stand alone as unusual and interesting work I can totally relate to.
