Cristy Road

Cristy Road's work as an illustrator started back in the early nineties, in her own self-published zine Green'zine and gradually evolved into her current style, and has always tackled pretty strong subject matters like social principles, gender, sexual deviance, identity, racism, drug abuse, mental inadequacies and death.

She released her first graphic novel - Indestructible, an autobiographical tale about teenagerhood, rebellion, gender, queerness, mental health, promiscuity and punk rock in 2006 and followed with a collection of postacards (Distance Makes the Heart Grow Sick) and a second novel last year (Bad habits).

She is currently based in New York, drawing and writing, and has just been back from an european tour with the all-queer-girl spoken-word roadshow Sister spit.
