Matchmaking

I met Miriam Libicki at the Alternative Press Expo (APECon) here in SF last year. Her little table, wedged in amongst plenty of gothic, superhero, perverse and otherwise wacky entries was plenty weird as well - offering multiple issues of Jobnik!, a series about life in the Israeli army for an American orthodox teenage girl. What really caught my eye was a standalone piece called "Towards a Hot Jew: The Israeli Soldier as a Fetish Object."

I chatted her up, bought one of her sexy tank tops emblazoned with a barbed-wire-esque design made out of fighter jets and stars of David, and promised to introduce her to my friends at Zeek magazine. I'm happy to report that her work features prominently in the new issue. I wish Miriam the best of luck with her evolving art (and business) and encourage you all to read up on her!
