Drawing Blood by Molly Crabapple
4.25
I have been a fan of Molly Crapabble's work (writing and art) since she began publishing on VICE. I picked up this book on a whim in a bookstore in Brooklyn because it had been on my list since weeks before its release, because I spotted a signed copy, and because the day I went into the store was the same day that a ton of kids were in the store for a children's story reading or something and I wanted to find a reliable author and get out with something enlightening as fast as possible.
I could not have anticipated this work even if I had taken a lot more thought and time to consider which book I would read next more. Molly has an incredible story and I was surprised to find just how much her voice is one that I can fully understand and feel for all that is being said. I have not at all had the same trajectory or path as Molly has, but I was thrilled to learn that we shared several methods in our art/interviews on current events. It was affirming to hear of her struggle for success in the art world, and inspiring to read of her many adventures.
Really looking forward to reading what Crabapple writes next and know that my reading of her next article will be so much further enhanced by this beautiful text (and gorgeous accompanying images).
