Here is a blog post I wrote about my trip to France for the cartoon festival, RIDEP. The New Yorker’s cartoonbank.com, which is the site that promotes and sells all things cartoon, kindly posted this entry. Hope to do more in the future.

Live in NY: New Yorker’s Michael Maslin + Liza Donnelly

Our New Yorker colleague, cartoonist Matt Diffee, hosts a regular music/comedy evening in New York City. It’s called The Steam Powered Hour, and features contemporary bluegrass music and comedy and cartoons. This Valentines Day, he invited my husband Michael and I to “perform”, whatever that means! Come join us! Featuring music by Reckon So and The Sassy Jenkins, and Colbert writer, Frank Lesser.

Press Conference in Paris: International cartoonists who are women

liza — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:57:04 +0000

On Tuesday, January 19th, I participated in a press conference at the headquarters of Amnesty International in Paris to speak about RIDEP, the well-known cartoon conference that is held annually in Carquefou, France. What was unusual about this was that it was a press conference of cartoonists who are women, talking about what it means in their countries to be women cartoonists. The women participating in the festival (although not all were at the press conference) were: Hana Hajjar from Saudi Arabia, Caroline Rutz from Switzerland, Firoozeh Muzaffari from Iran, Marlene Pohle from Germany (and also Argentina), Cathy Wilcox from Australia, Dominique LeMarie and Corrine Rey from France.

Beth Arnold, a writer friend who lives in Paris and who writes a blog for Huffingtonpost.com, was at the conference and posted two items on the conference and festival:

RIDEP: Cartoon Festival Honoring Women Cartoonists

liza — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 16:14:31 +0000

Tomorrow, I was invited to travel to another French cartoon festival, this time in Carquefou. They are honoring women cartoonists this year, and I look forward to meeting cartoonists from around the world who are women. Much of the work is political, and while I work for The New Yorker, my work is often political–either socially or culturally. I hope to blog for The New Yorker about the events. I will also write about it for Women’s Enews and blog for the Cartoonbank.com

A few thoughts on controversial cartoons

liza — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 03:09:37 +0000

I have been doing drawings and some writing for a new site, dscriber.com for a few months. Last week, I wrote about the Danish Cartoon Controversy, and the recent events that were in the news. You can read the post here.

The post is titled “Recast”. It will be a regular feature on dscriber, and the name comes from the fact that the cartoons that will be posted there will always be cartoons of mine that The New Yorker choose not to buy. I do around six every week, so I have a lot of work that does not get published by them. Dscriber is a wonderful site and I am happy to have them there. If so moved, please comment!
