It was an honor to be selected as a Noteworthy Writer for Medium, a wonderful online publication started by Ev Williams, co-founder of Twitter. I have been publishing with Medium for years now, and I love the simplicity of the design and their mission statement. It is a place for my writing and drawing (together and alone) that is supportive and yet also leaves me alone to do what I feel I need to do! In the introduction to this wonderful brief video, the Medium editors say I was chosen “…for finding nuance in the news cycle, Liza sketches everything that can’t be said.” https://noteworthy.medium.com/liza-donnelly-c848c1d06ac4

Can Humor Be A Factor In Peace?
My recent post for Forbes is about Forum D’Avignon, a think tank on culture. I was there, and delivered a short speech as well as drew cartoons of my impressions. I share the text of my speech and more cartoons on the Forbes column, please go take a look!
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!
