It's Something Clever

I have always liked the idea of comic book illustration, but have been hesitant to get too far into this world. Being a woman it can be flat out degrading. I understand that comics have always been somewhat graphic, but this shit is to the extreme – even if it is fantasy. I often feel boxed in by this aspect of the comic book/graphic novel industry and it is part of the reason I never sign my work with my first name. I do not want to be associated with a being female comic artist.
