After working at some of the biggest animation studios in the world and breaking out with her own art, the Canadian cartoonist Aminder Dhaliwal is reflecting on what it means to protect your creativity (and your sanity) in a world that's always demanding that we work harder and faster. The result is her new graphic novel, A Witch's Guide to Burning, which tells a fairy tale-like story about how to find your magic again when you're feeling burnt out. Dhaliwal talks to Q's Tom Power(external link) about the book and what burnout feels like to her.
