Lucy Knisley (born January 11, 1985) is an American comic artist and musician. Her work is often autobiographical, and food is a common theme.

Contents

Knisley's drawn travel journal French Milk was published through Simon & Schuster in October 2008. It received positive reviews in several publications, such as USA Today [1] and Salon.com. [2] Comics critic Douglas Wolk described it as "a keenly observed letter back home... the pleasure Knisley takes in food and company is infectious." [2]

Knisley holds a BFA ('07) from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. While there, she contributed to and edited the comics section of the school newspaper, FNews. [3] Knisley holds an MFA ('09) from the Center for Cartoon Studies. She was awarded the 2007 Diamond in the Rough scholarship [4] for her CCS application comic, Heart Seed Snow Circuit. She is a 2014 recipient of the Alex Awards.

Personal life

Knisley married designer John Horstman in September 2014. [5] At the time of his proposal to her, they had been separated for three years after a five-year relationship. [6]

Knisley gave birth to her first child on June 13, 2016. She refers to him as "Pal" in her writing, short for Palindrome, for privacy reasons. [7] [8]
