Girls Read Comics Too has been blogging about female comic creators in their “Women in Comics Spotlight” feature.

Recently they contacted me for a Q&A session and the blog entry went up yesterday. Some of the questions included “Did you ever get advice about the field that you’d like to pass on?” and “In an ideal world, in what direction would you like to see your project evolve?”

Please click on this link to see the interview: http://girlsreadcomics.com/2011/08/08/women-in-comics-spotlight-carolyn-belefski

If you are interested in conducting an interview with me for your blog, publication, podcast, or other media outlet, please email info@curls-studio.com. Thank you!

DC Zinefest was this past Saturday, July 30, 2011. Word on the street was that it was Washington, DC’s first Zinefest in at least a decade. I am glad the show’s organizers were able to put on such a well-coordinated show with a minimum budget. Thanks to everyone who came out.


The show had a steady pace of attendees throughout the day. The photo above shows how big the crowd got at one point.

More photos can be found on the Curls Studio Facebook page.
