Review:

“Comic book artist and illustrator Tara Booth’s work is candid, funny and chock full of personal details. The textures and patterns she achieves using gouache paint give her work a wonderfully awkward tone and she brings her characters to life through short vignettes that unfold on the page.” -- Rebecca Fulleylove, It's Nice That -"As an artist, Booth works to push the boundaries between comic arts and fine art, and she lives up to no standards of appropriateness other than her own. Her social commentary is sharp and her visual storytelling unassuming. She is a master of self-deprecation, translating her shameful actions into gloriously taboo moments of artistic revelation. She does this by creating artwork about identity and expectations during times she is not at her best..." -- Megan St Clair, HyperAllergic -“The women she creates are effortlessly relatable to other women, and Booth's work seeks to go against typical themes for comic artists. She skillfully reframes mundane moments as what they really are: shared experiences that we all go through, like trying to find a matching pair of socks.” -- Louise Matasakis, Mashable -“What makes the comic such a consistent delight is Booth's use of sight gags that are not exactly jokes, but rather absurd, shocking and/or disgusting. In the opening scene, she crawls out of the bed of the guy she just slept with but pauses, naked, in the living to read some comics before she crawls to the bathroom to vomit. Booth makes no judgments and leaves that up to the reader, resulting in a series of events that are both hilarious and vaguely unsettling.” --Rob Clough, Hi Low
