Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog

This is very interesting as a tour of art history’s it-girls – how exactly has the feminine ideal beauty changed over the centuries? Every era has its Barbie doll.

Women of Comics is a sub-programming feature of the upcoming Toronto Comicon. The Women of Comics Symposium held on Saturday, April 29th, 2006, will feature top female writers, artists and editors from the comic book and syndicated cartoon worlds. The line-up of guests is great, including Jessica Abel, Fiona Smyth, Becky Cloonan, Jill Thompson, and my friends Sandra Bell-Lundy and Rina Piccolo. It looks to be a great part of a great event, so do check it out, if you’re planning on attending the show. (womenofcomics.com)
