The legs don’t really make sense here - like, the right foot is kind of backwards. But I decided I liked it, that it suggests movement, so I left it.
LUST, the “Lustlab Ad of the Week” book collection, is out and on the shelves! You can order it here directly from the Fantagraphics web-catalog. “Lustlab Ad of the Week” is a comic adaptation of one of the week’s kinky personal ads in Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger, and I post them here every Wednesday.
I like the oddly-turned heel too. It makes it a little weird in a good way. You totally rock, Ellen. Your work is so distinctive, yet in such a subtle way. It’s true also that there is always something gentle and loving about it. Do you ever do panel discussions or workshops for comics artists? I bet you’d make a wicked-sweet mentor…I used to do comics in high school, then went into fine art, now am going through that early mid-life crisis, trying to figure out what the hell to do with myself and commit to something. You are definitely a humble inspiration along that path…Also, I love your comics. The Thanksgiving one is TOO ADORABLE and the Tamara Paris and Margaret Cho ones are just genius. I sent the links to some friends. Thank you for being so rad and making me laugh.
Love,
a-mo
