Small Press Spotlight on Amy
Martin
Cartoon Art Museum Exhibition: September 18 – December 12, 2010
SAN FRANCISCO, CA: Beginning on September 18, 2010, the Cartoon Art
Museum's ongoing Small Press Spotlight will feature the art of Amy
Martin.
Amy Martin is a cartoonist from Chicago who now lives in San Francisco.
She has been self-publishing comic books since 2004, and has completed twelve
books. She is the creator of The Single Girls, Bachelor Girl, and
The Girls Are Mighty Fine. Her characters are girls who mainly discuss
their hang-ups, dates, and occasional moments of jubilation. Her
work deals in large part with women and the ways they treat each other, how the
relations between them can be either friendly or full of conflict. Martin
draws inspiration from her own life and friends, and creates witty comics that
are adorable yet
provocative.
Funny and lively, Martin’s work also draws attention to how this type of
woman really isn’t represented in comics from the female
perspective. Check out Amy’s Martin work on her website: http://www.amymartincomics.com

About the Small Press
Spotlight:
San Francisco has been a hotbed of innovative, groundbreaking comic art since
the late 1800s with the advent of the modern comic strip. In the1960s, the
Bay Area gained further notoriety when the underground comix movement launched
from San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. Today, some of the biggest
names in alternative and small-press comics hail from the Bay Area, and the
Cartoon Art Museum's Small Press Spotlight focuses on the works of these
talented
individuals.
