"The first one is concept art for a cat character named Tux. He has black and white fur that looks like a tuxedo from afar and has a red bow. He also has only one eyebrow whisker. The second one is just a random sketch. I like action characters so in the non-existent world she lives in, she would be a fighter with some sort of staff." -Brenda Gonsalez, '15

Many thanks to Nicole Georges for coming to speak with DRAW today! An award-winning writer and illustrator from Portland, Oregon, Georges is an openly lesbian author and one of "Five Writers To Watch Out For," according to the Lambda Literary Foundation. Her work has been featured in many publications, including Tin House, Vanity Fair, and Slate.com. Her graphic memoir, Calling Dr. Laura, was called “engrossing, lovable, smart and ultimately poignant” by Rachel Maddow and “disarming and haunting, hip and sweet, all at once” by Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home.
