About Tyler Cohen

|
|
Tyler Cohen is addicted to actual books and paper in a time when we are moving into the digital, and finds it highly ironic that she reads a lot of science fiction. She was born in the summer of love. As an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, she created her own program of interdisciplinary study in gender and sexuality, combining anthropology, literature, and visual art. She made mini-comics in the '90s and '00s, including such titles as "Tattooed Women" and "Possum, #1-7;" contributed to comics anthologies True Porn and Penny Dreadful Travel Guide to the Bay Area; and had illustrations in Moxie Magazine and On Our Backs. In 2004, she earned her MFA in drawing and painting at California College of the Arts, and, shortly thereafter, had her first solo show of Primazon drawings. She gave birth to her daughter in 2005, the first Primahood book in Oct. 2011, and Primahood: the Second Album in May 2012. In her creations—the beings, the Primazons—the artist brings together her interests in nature & nurture, comics, anime, book/arts, anthropology, design, scifi, fantasy, dream, and intergenerational relationships. She lives in San Francisco and works as a freelance artist and designer. |
