Molly Crabapple is an artist and writer living in New York. Brothers of the Gun, her illustrated collaboration with Syrian war journalist Marwan Hisham, will be published by Random House in 2018. Her work has been described as “God’s own circus posters,” by Rolling Stone, but beneath the lavishly detailed surface, it engages injustice and rebellion. Molly has been called “equal parts Hieronymus Bosch, William S. Burroughs and Cirque du Soleil,” by The Guardian; “THE artist of our time” by comedian Margaret Cho, and “a brilliant and principled artist” by BoingBoing. She has taken her sketchbook from burlesque halls to refugee camps, always with a skeptical eye for power.

She regularly speaks to audiences around the world, at institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art, The London School of Economics, and Harvard and Columbia Universities. Her works are held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, The Barjeel Foundation, and The New York Historical Society.
