: It starts out as sketches and then I scan the sketch with my iPhone to my computer and then I build it from there.
I look for wonderful pictures of the subject. In the case of Radclyffe Hall, who wrote the first acknowledged lesbian novel — which has a terrible title, “The Well of Loneliness” — but there are pictures of her and her partner with their champion dachshunds in England, and since I have a dachshund, I was thrilled to find that picture. So I drew her with a dachshund.
An illustration by David Lee Csicsko of Radclyffe Hall, who wrote the first acknowledged lesbian novel. : James Whale, the director of “Frankenstein,” was drawn with an electrode on his neck. Frida Kahlo got a little mustache on her lip. From Frida to Freddie Mercury, the makers of the book had a tough editing process.: We looked back and made a list of our favorites, and we basically arm-wrestled as to who got into the book. It was very hard to make the cut.
: Sooner or later everything becomes political, and especially in the time we live in now where certain politics are trying to erase certain things or take freedoms away from various groups. And the fact that we made this as a book for young people and now that’s being challenged in public education in Florida. We’re really lucky to live where we live where we can bring things forward and bring them to the table.
What I try to do is give you a bright spot in your day and make something wonderful that hopefully makes you smile but is also smart and witty and comes from an interesting place.
