And it’s funny how my barely contained revulsion about politics this year has turned into a kind of mild feeling of regret that’s almost-but-not-quite nostalgic.

What I mean by this is: She draws like a demon [on paper!], and digs through bins of vintage photos and ephemera at flea markets and elsewhere to find reference material for her art. She recently took time away from her work to do the DART Q&A. Here’s what she wrote: As an artist, what are … Read the full Story >>
