I am glad to say that I've been lax about updating this site because I've been extra busy making comics. So far, Non Partum at Mutha Magazine has been my most gratifying creative project ever! I hope that you will read the series as it grows through 2015. I feel sure that I'll never run out of ideas for comics about motherhood, and that we all can't help but be interested in mothers - everybody has at least one! As always, it's super satisfying for me to gather the pieces that will make up each story - some directly from my own life, some I've invented completely, and others derived from my constant worrying about everything. I like building the scaffolding that will hold that story together convincingly so I can send it out to you.
Of course, comics are nothing unless they are being read. That's why I rely on feedback from readers to know if I am being heard and making sense. I think of myself as a print cartoonist, but it's clear to me now that online comics can reach more people more quickly than any of the print comics in my shop. The best part of being part of Mutha Magazine's comics roster is knowing that people are hearing me, sharing the same fears and joys, and bringing their own experiences to reading (like you can help that!)
I am especially honored by these reviews, recommendations at shoutouts from
Scott McCloud -Understanding Comics is the reason I actually sat down and consciously decided to make comics
Comics Reporter - a "Go, Look" from the site I read the most for reviews, news and interviews about comics
Women Write About Comics - the most thorough analysis of one of my comics ever, and it's right on target in every way.
Please keep commenting and sharing - it means so much to me.
