BBC Profile

Recently, I had the pleasure to be profiled and interviewed by the BBC. Journalist and filmaker, Harriet Constable, came to my studio in the country and spent the day with me. She also was with me when I conducted a panel discussion about women cartoonists at the Society of Illustrators in New York, which was held on the night of the opening of the exhibit that I curated there about women who draw and have drawn cartoons for The New Yorker. The exhibit is called “Funny Ladies At The New Yorker, Then and Now” and runs until Oct 13th. The show is based on my history, “Funny Ladies: The New Yorker’s Greatest Women Cartoonists and Their Cartoons” 
Here is the BBC profile:

My Left Hand vs My Right Hand: Creativity Revisited

Breaking a bone is common, but when it happens to you, it’s all consuming. I broke my arm a few months back, and wrote about it for The New York Times. For the first time in my life, during the healing process, I couldn’t draw with my right hand.  I got to know my left had very well, and wrote about it.   The Times published some of the drawings and writing about the experience in the Sunday Op Ed section (7/22/18) and online. Here is the link.
During the months of healing, The New Yorker published one of my drawings that I did with my left hand!  

 

And here are some of the drawings.
