Aron Lee Bowe?

Rather than a boring bio where I exaggerate my numberous gallery shows, impressive writing credits and prestigious awards, I’ll simply admit that I like to laugh. This website’s content is written and illustrated by me. My stories are true, though I change people’s names, since I don’t want to deal with the shit they’d dump on me especially from my dear mother, who says, “If Aron is such a good artist, why in the hell does she paint the crap that she does?”

Please note: this site does not include a boring trip down memory lane. My mother trashed my early artwork for my being, in her words, a whore. Thus you won’t see a heartwarming portrait of my family dog, my poignant painting of a plump toddler, nor pixies dodging raindrops beneath a poison mushroom. So thank you, Mom!

Her recent graphic novel, Journey to the Anthropocene, tells the history of human existence to our present planetary dilemma. She published two humorous graphic memoirs, Alpha Ding and Amazed & Elated, Depressed & Deflated, which won an Independent Publisher’s Medal for humor. Bowe won a first place humor prize from the National League of American Pen Women. She serves on the board of the Writers of the Mendocino Coast.
