What’s this now?

Hello, I’m Dana. I’m an artist and cartoonist, and the author of the book Skip to the Fun Parts: Cartoons and Complaints About Creativity (Andrews McMeel, May 2023). You might have seen a few of my cartoons in the New Yorker Daily Shouts about messy desks or procrastination or feeling bad for assholes.

This newsletter is an extension of my Instagram account, where I post most of my work these days, but also lets me go into more detail and share what I’m doing/thinking/drawing behind the scenes. If that sounds like a good time, please join me!

Also please note that this is a 100% free newsletter. If you want to support me by buying some artwork or my book, have at it (seriously, I would be delighted!), but you aren’t going to be charged for anything here.
