About me:
My weekly alternative left-wing political cartoon, "The Boiling Point", has appeared in the Boston Phoenix, The L.A. Times, Detroit's Metro Times, The Rochester Insider, In These Times online, the Funny Times, Ms., Girlfriends, and other assorted fine publications. I was featured as "cartooning's angry young woman" in the anthology Attitude 2: The New Subversive Alternative Cartoonists, edited by Ted Rall. Check out my cartoons comment in the blog and read more about me at http://www.mikhaela.net.
I live in Brooklyn with fellow cartoonist Masheka Wood, and our cat Riley (named for a character in the Boondocks).

Who I'd like to meet:
Brainy, smart-ass left-wing types. Cartoonists, rabble-rousers, political activists, etc. People who are as UNLIKE Dick Cheney as possible. This is not a personal ad--my boyfriend Masheka Wood is also a cartoonist, and you can check his stuff out at What Masheka Did.
I only approve real comments--no promos or flashing "just dropping by to say hi" images, please.
I rarely have a chance to check myspace for messages --the best way to get in touch with me is direct email to toons@mikhaela.net
