Linda Berry came to my class one afternoon in 6th grade. Mountain View elementary in Ferndale Washington. Taught us some art. She told us about The Rocket newspaper that she drew for. So I started reading The Rocket.
She had real red hair then
SHE WAS AWESOME
Thank You Linda Berry.
I was in my early 20s when I lived in Chicago in the 1990s. I religiously picked up the Reader and certainly saw her work. I'm 46 now and just discovered her, ordered all her books I can find second-hand, and began sketching myself. Inspired is an understatement.
One of my absolutely favorite people. I'll definitely break into tears if I ever get to meet her. Thanks for this juicy interview.
She is so sweet and smart, great interview!
Such a grounded and down to earth inspiration! I love her!
I love her braids and her attitude.
Why have I never heard of this lady? She’s amazing! Insightful and intelligent!
I hope you went down the rabbit hole and found her work. She is brilliant.
Make her an honorary Canadian officially. A True inspiration.
One of the most fantastic artists I know. What she writes or draws about is profound, funny, dark, surprising, human, magical.
I'm glad you remarked on the print content along with the imagery. Her micro-fictions were able to expose a moment in such a startling way.
I'm so grateful to Lynda for teaching us that we can let our brain fill in the gaps when it comes to hands and noses. I teach watercolor, and this is my go to line when students panic about drawing or painting anything new. If you color the top of a page, everyone automatically knows it's the sky. It's not as difficult as we make it.
Thank you so much for this. She is truly an inspiration in every way!
Just found out about her work, she's great!
Ah! The days of good reading, matt groening and lynda barry in a throw-away weekly.
AND, along with Barry, I remember reading David Lynch's comic, too: The Angriest Dog in the World.
Lovers of young adult literature NEED to understand the debt the genre owes to Lynda Barry (--print and visual content).
Great interview!! Thanks for your commentary about deification and the arts. I love that you both encourage all to venture out and begin something, some art or some music, no matter what age.
She is such a inspiration, great interview
She is amazing! Great interview. Thanks!
I desperately want a tee shirt like Lynda's!! What a great interview, love Lynda's approach to art and life: she is delightful.
This interview is so much fun
love you Lynda!-
She taught me how to draw Marlys. It was very pleasing.
Great interview!
She’s so cool
In middle school, I would try to draw trees, and draw every leaf, or try to draw pagodas, with detail, and I always was graded a "D" or "F", because I did not colour it in. Crayons ruined the pictures, because you could not mix them to get the right depth, and they do not stay within the lines. Really put me off drawing. If Lynda Barry had been around, I would be enjoying my art.
My Hero.
She sounds like her characters, her voice, that is.
Please stay being an American Lynda Barry! We need you! : )
Cool.
All the coolest people i know want to be Canadian.
