Karen Bolipata
I’m a writer and graphic memoirist. I write and draw funny things. Sad things. Funny and sad things. I live in a beloved shitty apartment with my husband, Franco, and our furry son, Henri, in Queens, New York—all often featured in DIARY OF A SUFFICIENTLY FUN PERSON, a webcomic I update somewhat regularly.
My studio practice focuses on Crone Hands Books, a limited-edition book project lovingly made by crone hands. Mine.
