“Middle age is such a perfect term. You’re right in the middle of life. You could not be more in the middle of everything. Your parents are old, your kids are little. Life is just swirling around you.”

“With my mom dying, I thought, ‘Oh, I’m gonna die? Great, I work well with deadlines!'”
\n–Summer Pierre<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"summerjencrop\"<\/a>According to Labyrinth Books’ promo for the event, “Art is not something we create in isolation. Art happens between the diaper change and the trip to the vet. Between the car accident and the roast chicken. Every day we fight to seize a little more art from the jaws of this wild existence. \u00a0And if we’re lucky we catch the spark while it’s rising. Autobiographical cartoonists and graphic novelists Jennifer Hayden, and Summer Pierre discuss their graphic lives with moderator Gil Roth of the Virtual Memories Show.” It’s a great conversation about making art in the interstices of life, so go listen!<\/a>\u00a0(And go buy The Story of My Tits<\/a>\"\"!)<\/em>
