FYI, I've got a one-page color autobiographical piece in the new Noir issue of
Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture magazine, on newsstands now! I drew it for a special color comics section called "My Dark Confession," and it's about my struggles with OCD and such.
I just read it this morning! It's a great comic, thank you and thank Bitch for sharing it with us. (The other comics are pretty good there in this issue, too...too bad they don't do this more regularly!)
ReplyDeleteI just got my copy of Bitch and went straight to it.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the piece. Your depictions of knife-through-fingernail set off all of my own irrational terrors of blood-phobia. Not complaining, just complimenting the effectiveness of your story and art. I've gotten better too, I can now submit to giving a blood sample without needing a friend to keep me from running away. Its a phobia I developed as a pre-teen. I wonder if there is some sort of body fear that gets played out in younger women as a response to feeling helpless or in danger as women? (just musing)
Anyway, I've been reading your stuff since the beginning and appreciating. I hope your wrists are healing and that you are able to keep doing as much art as you want.
