With the return of Inkstuds comes a return visit with Katie Skelly. Katie’s latest work, Heaven, is a fantastic exploration of life, friendships and chaos. Her latest work feels very personal in a lot of ways, exploring a very awkward point in a young woman’s life. In some ways, it’s a coming of age comic, but it completely avoids any of the YA trappings and stays honest to her voice and comic work.
We also discuss Katie’s fantastic Viscere anthologies. I was really blown away by the depth of the work in those collections. They provide a great snapshot of contemporary cartoonists making work on difficult subjects in an engaging and challenging way.
Katie also has a new Bad Girl Tarot deck out which is in the last stages of a Kickstarter campaign.
This podcast is brought to you thanks to support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
If you would like to send comics for me to check out, please mail to. I am always happy to see new work.
