Lisa Hanawalt

This chick's art is so weird and rad. Discovered her on the cover of Smoke Signals, a passion paper put out by Gabe Fowler, the guy who runs Desert Island, an alternative comic book shop with a bakery motif located off the Lorimer L train in Brooklyn. He spins records in there. I like. Anyway, it was the first copy I'd picked up and it was this covered in a cat face with a train running around the fur. So then I was chatting with Brian Heater of The Daily Cross Hatch and he links me to his recent interview with Lisa Hanawalt and I was like 'whoa! that looks familiar!'
