Molly Crabapple
artist and writer
ARTIST. WRITER. DOCUMENTING EXTREMES, FROM NIGHTCLUBS TO WARZONES
New York born and based. Available for projects internationally. I got my start drawing at underground burlesque shows, and became a journalist on the frontlines of Occupy Wall Street. I have reported with words and art from Ukraine, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Greek refugee camps, the US-Mexican border, and Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, for places like The New York Times, New York Review of Books, The Paris Review, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, and The New Yorker. My work has been nominated for a National Book Award and three Emmys. I've done animations with Jay Z and AOC. My work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
I’m a fellow at the Cullman Center at the New York Public Library, working on my third book.
