Jennifer Camper

Comix

"Sexy, street-wise and too racy to publish." - The Washington Blade

"Bitter-sweet, heart warming and destructive all at once." - Chroma Journal

"Hilariously messed up." - Good Comics

Jennifer Camper's comics explore gender, race and class from an outsider's (female, queer, and mongrel) perspective. The work also celebrates sexy women and ridicules stupidity. Camper became a cartoonist because she likes making art with both words and pictures. Also, all the tools of the trade are small and easy to shoplift.

Her books include Rude Girls and Dangerous Women, a collection of her cartoons, and subGURLZ, a graphic novella about three twisted women living in abandoned subway tunnels. Camper is also the founding editor of two Juicy Mother comix anthologies.

Her comics and illustrations have appeared in magazines, newspapers, and comic books, including The Village Voice, Ms. Magazine, The Advocate, Out, Gay Comix, Wimmin's Comix, Young Lust, World War 3, and Funny Times. Her work has been published in many comix anthologies and she is the cartoon editor for The Women's Review of Books. Her cartoons have been translated into French, Arabic, Spanish and Korean.

Camper's art has been exhibited internationally, including at The New Museum, (NYC), Festival International de le Ban Desinee (Switzerland), The San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum, Kyoto Manga Museum, LadyFest (UK) and Högkvarteret (Sweden). Website

People I Know, multi-panel portraits

The multi-panel format allows me to convey an extra dimension that cannot be captured in a straight-on shot; two writers whose home is a haven but also a competitive space for each with their piles of published works forming a third presence, a potter whose intense concentration while working is informed by his unique personality revealed in his body ornamentation through tattoos, a woman looking like a satisfied cat while wearing her favorite leopard prints surrounded by echoes of other big cats.

These subjects are my friends. Some have an icy acquaintanceship with the camera while others have an amorous intimacy with the lens. Whether trying to capture a subject's pride of place and identity or stepping lightly into their spiritual space, I am aware of the privilege of being let in.
