There are no shortages of blogs out there, so why am I joining the masses? I guess I wanted a place to show my new book, and write about it, write about issues and ideas that spring from it. I also wanted to try my hand at setting up a blog. It’s addictive.
So here it is. whendotheyservethewine.wordpress.com Enjoy! Please comment, I would love the feedback.
I met Pat Mitchell, head of the Paley Center, last year. She is a warm, engaging, creative powerhouse, and I am so pleased to have become friends with her. She invited me to participate in the first TEDWomen conference she, The Paley Center and TED are producing December 7th and 8th in Washington, DC. I am curating an exhibtion of international cartoonists on the subject of women, tenatively called: The Folly, Fun and Flexibility of Women. I also am scheduled to give a short talk in the first session.
Here is an interview with Pat on Huffingtonpost.
It’s about ideas. It’s not an exclusive event for women!
The other day, I was looking around the web, and found a clip of the speech that I gave at The United Nations. This was a time following the initial events of the Danish Cartoon Controversy. I was invited to participate with other members of Cartooning for Peace, an organization founded by Jean Plantu, a French cartoonist. Cartooning for Peace is very active, and I feel very fortunate to participate when I can.
Speech is here (to hear what I had to say, click on my name on the UN page):
My new book, due out in November, will be sold in the great store Anthropologie!!!
I do a cartoon every week for womensEnews.org. Its a place for me to be political in a more overt way than The New Yorker sometimes likes its cartoons.
Sarah Palin. I imagine many women aspire to look like her. But the same women may hate her politics. What to do?
I am loving exploring the world of graphic narrative. Recently, I wrote a short story graphic narrative about growing up and Narrative Magazine published it. You have to log in to see it.
