Presenting the Artists of Strumpet 3: Kripa Joshi

Presenting the Artists of Strumpet 3: Becky Hawkins!

We're back once again with another artist to highlight! Strumpet 3 is on it's way and since we have talent to spare, we thought it would be nice to share it with the people by highlighting an artist that is featured in the latest Strumpet every single day!

The next cartoonist that we are going to show off is Becky Hawkins! Becky is an autobiographical cartoonist out of Portland, Oregon whose comics often depict the misadventures of her and her shoulder angel.

Her comics act like a journal, a place to express her thoughts and opinions on social matters and a place for her to share her life experiences with her readers.

You can find more of her work here and purchase some pieces and postcards by her here.
