E.T. Russian
I am a multi-sensory artist and cartoonist. My graphic journalism is currently in the traveling show Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived and Well Drawn hosted by the National Library of Medicine. My #RAMPSOFDISTINCTION series is on permanent exhibition at WA State Convention Center and recently featured at the Seattle Architecture Foundation and the Bellevue Arts Museum Biennial.
My recent solo shows (multi-sensory installations) were DOUBLE CLEAR at Hedreen Gallery and CASTING SHADOWS at Jack Straw Gallery. My work featured in Girlfriends of the Guerrilla Girls at Center on Contemporary Art, and Out of Sight: Survey of Contemporary NW Art.
I am the author of The Ring of Fire Anthology and have been published in a number of books including Graphic Public Health, Skin, Teeth and Bone: A Disability Justice Primer, Disability in American Life: An Encyclopedia of Concepts, Politics, and Controversies, When Language Runs Dry, The Graphic Medicine Manifesto and Gay Genius, as well as periodicals PEN Magazine, The Stranger, The Seattle Weekly and Real Change. My comic Girls Gone Bile is in the US Library of Congress in the feminist collection Bloody Pussy. I codirected the documentary Third Antenna, am a featured artist with Sins Invalid and have received support from Art Matters, 4Culture, Seattle Office of Art & Culture, Jack Straw Foundation, Short Run and the University of Washington.
I am a documentarian at heart and I love a good story. In addition to being an artist I am also a physical therapist.
