Double Book Launch with Gabrielle Bell and Ariel Schrag
The artists will conduct a slideshow, discussing elements of their work and taking questions.
Gabrielle Bell splits her cartooning time between creating wry sketchbook autobiographical comics, such as those included in her 2006 graphic novel, Lucky, and working on more detailed fictional short stories. This collection represents her short comics work that has been published in various anthologies over the past five years, including Kramer's Ergot and The D+Q Showcase. The surrealist title story, Cecil and Jordan in New York, in which a young woman turns herself into a chair so as not to be too much of a bother to those around her, was adapted into the short film, Interior Design, by director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep) as part of the Tôkyô! trilogy.
