How To Be People

Elena Sancho | I love the fun and cheerful illustrations in Elena Sancho wine labels representing the members of her family. The free styled black pen line with the dots of color create a wonderful contrast with the clean cut wine bottles. Elena Sancho is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Barcelona, Spain. She studied at EINA, Barcelona and has created works for Yuris, Muji, Relativa Bodegas and Eina.

comicsalliance: Female Super-Hero Characters and Sex: Creators Explain How Comics Can Do Better  Jeff Parker (Thunderbolts, X-Men: First Class): A cultural aspect that I think influences the Bro/Boy’s Clubhouse feel of many comics is that they’re created in heavy isolation, and most of their referents for society become other entertainment, often big glamorous and provocative action movies playing in the background. When those creators finally get a chance to get out and meet the wider industry community, it’s at comics shows where fans who like girlie art turn out in disproportionate numbers. Go see- the overwhelming commission requests and auction winners are of female character cheesecake. After you draw or see your collaborator next to you draw a vamping Batgirl all weekend, you can go home thinking that this is the entirety of the audience, this is what they want.I’m ridiculously lucky to work in a studio that usually has as many women creators as men working in house, often more. It helps keep me mindful of the whole other half of the population, plus I get to see the kind of comics they like to make and read. Also without any extra effort, I constantly hear how real women talk, see how they interact, dress, everything. So my environment informs my perspective on fictional females more than say, Sucker Punch. I don’t know how to make that happen for other creators though, but instead of lambasting the creators for becoming insular, maybe help them find more representative influences. I don’t know, invite them to your workplace or something. Go to the con and commission some less naughty works of art. Everything matters. We won’t change much by griping about it; even if those complaints were acknowledged you’d likely get a very artificial attempt at balance as a result. We determine our own culture, help shape it from your end as best you can, and it will come back to you. I believe that.Read more at ComicsAlliance.
