J.R. Goldberg is an illustrator, printmaker, and comic book artist who resides in the ancient caves of Los Angeles.  She escaped with a BFA from the renowned School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which she feels has too many “ofs” in its title.  J.R. recently had her first book published by Slave Labor Graphics, entitled JELLYFIST, for which she provided the illustrations, and half of the commentary.  Additional works include HOW TO BE A PROPER HOST, and other zines for the Small Science Collective.   J.R hopes to not become a hobo, forced to draw on the side of dumpsters, and eat cardboard.

Hmmmm…I see. I am not a “cardboard”-tarian, so I would wish to not become a hobo as well. Anywho, I really enjoy your work. I give you Kudos. :D (P.S. That IS a lot of “ofs”.)

Ever Saturday I collect bean sprouts from my Grandma’s Garden. On one such Saturday, while lodging such springy sprouts into my earholes and yellow face satchel, I came across JELLYFIST. On that day I learned to speak a language apart from my native tongue of a “slightly large piece of sandpaper and my eyelids”; I thank you for learning me good english.

Cardboard is extra delicious when having Iron Deficiency. It is a fact.

After meeting you at Comic Con this year, I went out and bought a pair of glasses just like yours – large, round, and gold-rimmed. They were strictly for reading, but my initial refusal to remove them from my face destroyed my nearly-perfect eyesight. Now everyone at school calls me owl eyes and fish face. I wish I could take them off, but it seems like the lenses have grafted to my face.

I love your work and I love your glasses. I’ll keep an eye out for your future work!

Actually, I have to agree with some of the folks above. I think being a homo is a fine goal in life. You get to have your box apartment complex, with your box television (a hole you’d cut out of the side of your card board home), your cardboard dog, and hell even a cardboard car!

Why would you not want to have these things? I mean come on. Gotta think about it.

ER–I meant HOBO not HOMO! However, there is nothing against homo hobos. That may indeed make the experience more delightful.
