Drawing Bodies

I am excited to have the opportunity to do another TED talk, and to speak at the TEDxBAW event next week. I have been at work on my talk over several months–it is a long process to craft something using images and words into a coherent 18 minute message.  And know it so I don’t use notes.

The talk is about women’s bodies. Drawing bodies of all sorts and genders is my bread and butter; and in the talk, I explore many of the funny and serious issues that confront my own, and all women’s, embodiment.

The cartoon above is one from the talk. I also created a video, but cannot show it to you until the talk is delivered. Stay tuned!

 

When Do They Serve The Wine?

Last fall, Chronicle Books published my latest book, When Do They Serve the Wine? The title is based on a cartoon in the book, which is all about the humorous world of being a woman.  I lampoon women of all generations, poking at the many things we do in, and that are done to us by, our culture.  To see me talk about the book and how I came to write it, see the video (link here)  that is posted below or to the right. My blog, whendotheyservethewine.com was started to help get the word out about the book, but has since morphed into writing and cartooning about all kinds of things from politics to pop culture.

Cartoons on WomensEnews

The standard for reporting on women’s issues worldwide is upheld by the site womenseNews.org.  They cover issues and concerns about women around the world, and no one compares to them. I feel fortunate to have joined their roster of amazing writers and correspondents as a contributor of cartoons. Here is my second cartoon for the site. I also feel honored to be a cartoon contributor next to one of my cartoon heros, Nicole Hollander.

On Humor and Feminism

The new blog, No Country for Young Women, transcribed my speech at Omega Institute and features it on their home page today. The creator of the blog is the wonderful filmaker Elena Rossini. You can find her work on The Illusionists website and her website.

Here is the link to the transcipt, and a few of my cartoons. I will post the video of the speech soon.
