Deep Girl

    (Ariel Bordeaux, 1995)
™ and © Ariel Bordeaux

San Francisco-based Ariel Bordeaux has poured herself completely into the art and stories of Deep Girl. Obviously for mature audiences, this black-and-white series explores all facets of being a girl in a “deep” sort of way. While Ariel promises—and delivers—“an awful lot of self-hatred, insecurity, and general malaise,” there are moments where Deep Girl touches on aspects of femininity in refreshing and humorous ways. Most readers of Bordeaux’ work may be interested in seeing how her style and life expand over the months and years.
