Hey everyone! :) I actually work for Penny Arcade as a designer so, needless to say, I am huge web comics fan! I recently wrote a comic about my own coming out story and I wanted to share it here on Auto for people who might be interested: http://tinyshinykey.tumblr.com/post/79851619080/mixtape
Glad to be a part of the AutoStraddle community :)

I read your comic on OJST! Reading comics like DAR and Fun Home were really important for my coming out process as well; when I was owning up to my sexuality I found a lot of comfort in reading comics by queer artists, and part of what made me fully realize that I was queer was this profound sense of recognition and familiarity I feel when I read…[Read more]

Thank you! :) I keep hearing about Fun Home but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. It’ll definitely be the next book I pick up.
There’s no way to describe that feeling where you are reading something that feels like someone pulled words right out of your head. Makes you want to look around you to make sure no one is watching you read it and…[Read more]

Artists & Designers 9 years, 6 months agoHi everyone! I’m new to Autostraddle, and I’m trying to find other artists who make work that is outside of a heteronormative/gender binary narrative. I’d really like to start taking my own artwork in a new direction, but want to be educated about the women who have come before me who have talked about homosexuality and gender identity in their work.
-
Cool! that sounds really interesting and kind of similar to what I’m trying to do with my work. Do you have some artists in mind that you are looking at already? What style(s) of art are you working in?
-
I’m actually struggling to find other female artists who talk about female homosexuality. I have found plenty of male artists who do. I don’t know if I’m looking in the wrong places? I create figurative ceramic sculpture and for the past year have been using it to talk about my own gender/sexuality discoveries. I’m currently using visual cues…[Read more]

There’s a lot of photographers and video artists documenting their experiences of (or about) being lesbian, queer, trans, and in drag. It’s less easy to fin…[Read more]-
:D When I actually thought about it, most queer artists I knew of were male identified or not specifically looking at relationships or their sexuality. Felix Gonzalez Torres was the first that came to mind. I don’t know a lot about ceramic art though and I’m sure there’s plenty of fantastic artists working within that area.
-
Thank you so so much for all of that information! I can’t wait to dive in and look at all the links. I really appreciate it. Yeah, in Ceramics, there are lots of amazing artists talking about female sexuality, female politics, etc. but every single person I think about or look at as an example is coming at the subject matter from a…[Read more]
