Hello! My name is Cathy G. Johnson, I'm an award-winning cartoonist, printmaker and educator. I make comics, prints, paintings, drawings and zines. My work delves into the complicated worlds of young people, exploring the hardships and joys of adolescence. You can learn more about my work at CathyGJohn.net.
I am a printmaker. I’m a Studio Member at Binch Press x Queer Archive Work, a cooperative printmaking studio centering queer + trans artists and artists of color. Your membership here supports my on-going printmaking work.
In addition to my artwork, I am also a teacher. Your subscription will also support my education work at ComicArtEd.com. I also co-host a comics scholarship podcast called Drawing a Dialogue. I make a lot of stuff.
Members at every level will get my art updates emailed directly to them. It's the best way to stay on top of new pages as they come out.
This Comradery is a way you can give me monthly support for everything that I do. It's valuable to me to keep making my artwork free and accessible to all, so subscriber-only posts will be limited. But your subscription will help keep me going! Whatever you are able to give, it will directly support me and my art. Your monthly support will allow me to keep doing what I love.
As a bonus thank you, subscribers at the Sophomore, Junior and Senior levels and will get a seasonal 10% off code for my online store. And as more members join the club, the more goals we can get to, and the more art and events I'm able to do!
Thank you for reading this far, thank you for supporting me, thanks for enjoying my work. I am forever humbled and grateful.
Milestone: $34 of $100 / month
I'll create a monthly bonus illustration that subscribers will get early access to!
