I did a number of illustrations for "Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels" by Sarah Wendell and Candy Tan, and they were just interviewed on NPR's "All Things Considered." You can hear their interview here. [link] You can also see my illustration on NPR.org!

Here's Mavis, the stereotypical romance novel reader, as described by Sarah and Candy:



"Beyond Heaving Bosoms" is available to buy now. [link] It's a hilarious book with lots of great illustrations, by me and Carol Main. Check it out!

(I cross-posted this to my blog, which I'm finally doing something with, huzzah! [link])

My favorite part was just the unique point of view that the entire thing had. I think that a lot of American stories about WWII are afraid to tread on certain subjects. This film wasn't afraid to discuss some of the parts of the war that are really hard, and a lot less black and white.

Hey, it's been a while :) I'm finally free from school so now I can finally come back to DA. Anyway, I'm checking with you and the other mods about the contest for LMH-- we kinda need to vote.

(And I'd normally send this via note, but I've sent you and the others notes in the past and haven't gotten any response... so I'm wondering whether the notes are getting through .___. )

Hope to hear from you soon!
