July Cartoonist-in-Residence: Tyler Cohen
Sunday, July 8, 2012 from 1pm to 3pm

Free and open to the public

San Francisco, CA:  The Cartoon Art Museum hosts artist Tyler Cohen on Sunday, July 8, 2012 from 1pm to 3pm as part of its ongoing Cartoonist-in-Residence program.  Museum visitors will be offered the chance to talk to Tyler about cartooning and view her work. This event is free and open to the public.

Tyler Cohen was born in the summer of love. As an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, she created her own program of interdisciplinary study in gender and sexuality, combining anthropology, literature, and visual art. She made mini-comics in the ‘90s and ‘00s, including such titles as “Tattooed Women” and “Possum, #1-6;” contributed to comics anthologies True Porn and Penny Dreadful Travel Guide to the Bay Area; and had illustrations in Moxie Magazine and On Our Backs. In 2004, she earned her MFA in drawing and painting at California College of the Arts, and, shortly thereafter, had her first solo show of Primazon drawings. She gave birth to her daughter in 2005 and the first fully-realized Primahood book in Oct. 2011. Primahood: The Second Album was released June 2012. She lives in San Francisco and works as a freelance artist and designer.
