My friend Sara Drake is doing an amazing project in Phnom Penh Cambodia, teaching a class for women only on comics and zine making!  This morning she sent me this photo. She said the two in the photo can’t speak or read english but were copying my drawings for practice!  Sara said the experience has been “difficult, really beautiful and really fucking dark sometimes.” I can’t wait to hear all about it and see the incredible comics these ladies create, and the incredible comics that Sara creates as a result of being there!  Follow along with the project’s blog: http://iydcpc.wordpress.com/ “Chicago-based cartoonist Sara Drake will work in Cambodia for two months this fall/winter, teaching young women to cultivate their own personal narratives by utilizing skills such as drawing techniques, creative writing, zine production/bookmaking, independent publishing, and basic screen-printing methods. “Comics as a medium,” Sara explains, “is a unique form of self-expression that easily lends itself to serve a pedagogical function. This project will support a women’s comics community, by and for women, in a place where their inclusion within the medium has been extraordinarily complex and limited.”
