My daughter, Carly Shooster (Charly Shoo), is a Jewish-American comics artist based in swampy Gainesville, Florida, making art about women. She explores motherhood and daughterhood through her graphic novel, Mamita, an extension of her graduate thesis at California College of the Arts. She tells stories across comics and other media. She is a graphic designer and digital illustrator. One of her favorite things to do is watercolor her comics pages.
She claims her work is possible because of her community at Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW) and her creative friends in Gainesville. But I know it is the endless hours of her playing SIMS. When she is not drawing or painting, you can find her walking Ella, the dog, with the lovely Jack Ed- mondson or pulling weeds in her garden. She is addicted to audiobooks, specifically those with meandering sci-fi plots.
