Elizabeth Beier is a lady who knows your own lez life. She actually is not just lived it herself, she actually is drawn it as well. Over the past several years she is invested many nights in the notorious ingesting place, The Lex. She’s penned all the way down almost every experience we have now had indeed there, completely. Through the the one that moved way too far towards the downright depressing, her cartoons not just feel near home but very they much summarize everything The Lex has actually stood for more than these past few decades. She will be exhibiting the woman comic pieces at Mission Comics in-may, in the meantime, we requested the girl slightly about her job and where you could discover much more.



Q. exactly what made you should put pen to paper for Lex cartoons?




A.

The desire to wow women, of course. Really, seriously — we began attracting ladies at Lexington Club in an effort to introduce myself, in a fashion that ended up being even more original than offering them a glass or two or eagerly vocal along to your jukebox’s Pat Benatar. I began gathering the sketches and thinking about it much more as a «project» once I heard the club was closing.



Q. What were a few of yours most readily useful recollections through the Lex?






A.

On Halloween of 2014 I conducted court at my favored place on club and received gorgeous folks in outfit, which subsequently ordered myself products. A cute woman (or at least — one who actually a cis guy) passed myself a card that said «you happen to be fucking awesome. Keep that shit upwards» and walked away. We ran into the woman once again back at my way to find the BART and experienced the first kiss since my personal significant split up that believed enjoyable and beautiful. Very — which was good evening.

Q. Just What Are you seeing via some other musicians and artists regarding venue?






A.

Tales, art, pictures and interviews are now being accumulated nowadays at

. I think this really is likely to be breathtaking and involve countless different types of expression.



Q. inform us regarding event


on Monday


and whom is going.






A.

It Really Is May


23rd, at


Goal Comics, an excellent company about a block far from where Lex is currently (even though the bar are going to be closed by then, sniff.) We’ll present and study from my personal brand-new Lexington Club relevant publication that will feature comics, paintings, and maybe some writing. We’ll deliver initial art to offer also, so will some other neighborhood designers TBD. People should go if they are lacking the Lexington Club and want to see their unique team, when they enjoy indie comics, or if they simply dig queer area events. Androgynously gorgeous, witty, imaginative women that have something for artsy singles will also be encouraged to go to.



Q. In which can we learn more about work, and everything you’ll end up being dealing with subsequent?






A.

Not long ago I updated my personal site,
www.elizabethdrewyou.com
, and you can examine certain comics and/or get them indeed there. We have two publications published up until now known as

Bisexual tests and mistakes (problems 1 and 2)

, about myself attempting (and often faltering) to court the fairer gender. You may also take a look at my personal future occasions on my web site — including a trip to New York for all the first ever
Queers and Comics
summit


Will 7&8th


. I’ll get on a panel called «Queer Memoir,» and will upgrade my personal web log with drawings and documents about all great queer artists I meet.
