bio/contact

Julia was born in 1982 and raised in the San Francisco bay area. Her mom claims she slept in a skinner box as a kid and that’s why she’s really short, but Julia isn’t sure what a skinner box actually is. Julia never went to art school but she does have a bullshit BA that she will never use. Despite the fact that she is often angry and overreacting in her comics, in reality, her backwoods upbringing & hippie parents provided her with a healthy dose of west coast mentality that cause her to still use words like “rad” “hella” and “dude” and she doesn’t give two damp shits what you think about that. Julia currently lives in a wee basement studio in Greenpoint in Brooklyn, New York with a cat named Jack. She’s really proud of herself for writing this whole thing in third person but it kinda makes her feel funny.
Julia’s works include:
Fart Party vol 1
Fart Party vol 2
Drinking at the Movies (Sep 2010)
Julia is also the editor of I Saw You… an anthology of missed connection comics. For a tedious list of interviews and book reviews, go here. Retailers can request wholesale orders for Fart Party from Rachel at rachel(at)atomicbooks(dot)com
interviews/random questions/fightin’ words can be sent directly to me at JuliaWertz(at)gmail(dot)com and yes, I will totally answer questions for your dumb zine that only three people read, because I still put out those zines too. I might even come to your birthday party and play the kazoo if you provide the whiskey.
If you’re all important/big timey and refuse to just straight up email me about shit and want to do it the professional/difficult way, here’s a fancy list of contacts:
agent: michelle(at)wsherman(dot)com
editor:stchan(at)randomhouse(dot)com
publicist (for free review copies) schoy(at)randomhouse(dot)com
I love getting real mail, so please send trinkets and treats to my work studio at
