Rant Violet

Violet LaCello was born in the sleepy little village of Hollis, Queens, and made paper dolls and her own personal versions of Seventeen magazines before she grew up to be the famous cartoonist that changed the world with her bodice-ripping stories of passion and vice in Wimmins’ Comix, Twisted Sisters and her cartoon advice column, Ask Aunt Violet. Around 1996 she was plucked from the mass of talented West Coast cartoonists to write scripts and copy for the Web and she has never looked back. Well, no…actually, she has looked back a lot. Well, in any case, these days Violet spends a lot of her time being a copywriter and graphic artist. She would love to do more work traveling to fabulous resorts for offsite meeetings with organizations that want to expand their creativity. She is also working on fundraising for her graphic novel project, tentatively called Mandelbread. She has two other graphic novels in the works, Ev’ry Month Like a Period and 1,000 Apartments.
