Phoebe Gloeckner is a comic book artist who started out as a student of medical illustration. She has been making comics since she was a teenager. Her first works were based on her life, although she says it is not autobiographical, the character has the same experiences she had as a teenager. Gloeckner talks about her work in a very conversational way, as if she is talking one on one to a friend. I admire her conversational attitude toward presentation, I would love to do that more in my own work, I always feel very awkward talking about my work. Her most recent work is a book about a 15 year old girl from Juarez who was murdered, and her family who still have no answers. I admire her work for a cause, but I don't think I could ever do something so scary or dangerous. I will stick to my cats for now thank you.
