Molly Crabapple is a relentlessly prolific artist, writer and activist. Her murals adorn the walls of famous night clubs in New York and London, and her writing has been published in Vanity Fair, the Paris Review, VICE and the New York Times. Through illustration, Molly has documented some of the most pivotal political moments of the last decade, from the 2008 recession to Occupy Wall Street, to life inside Guantanamo Bay, the Syria’s civil war.
Most recently, Molly published a memoir, “Drawing Blood,” that tells the story of her eclectic life and career. I wanted to understand what it really means to call yourself an artist in this crazy city and how she has managed to seamlessly blend her art with journalism, so I accepted her offer of drawing lessons at her live-in studio in Manhattan’s financial district.

+Calgach V. If you think Molly Crabapple is pretentious, I can't imagine an artist on earth you would think isn't. I can't stand pretentiousness, not just in art, but in anything, and I've never gotten that from her. I have to wonder if your expectation of her hijacked your ability to potentially see her any other way.

ZIPPOD BEEBILBROXEN I see where you're coming from, but I still don't completely agree. You mentioned her speaking as if she's an expert, as if she isn't, but I'd say she is. I'm saying that from a purely objective standpoint. She's made a name and success for herself in a field that's extremely hard to do that in. She's done better for herself than 99.99% of people with similar aspirations, and I'd say that affords her the right to give advice on how to get where she's got.

@uhnah7652 8 лет назад

+Round Egg Films there's a difference between creating artwork for an aesthetic purpose of being visually edgy and 'contemporary' that only exists within 'the cube' that is the culture of the gallery format for people with millions of money, and creating work that is more didactic or contributes to wider culture that is far more accessible to the average person through things like comics or news articles or shows that are thought provoking.

@uhnah7652 8 лет назад

+Round Egg Films that said I'm 100% an artist that she would hate and I do contribute to the gallery culture that she expresses distain for - but what she does isn't hypocritical at all.

+adele k Jennifer Caban (Molly Crabapple) worked as a life model and a burlesque performer, and modeled for the Society of Illustrators. At the age of 19, she was modeling for SuicideGirls, and responding to ads in Craigslist for nude photographic modeling. Working as a model allowed Crabapple to earn more money than a typical day job and to continue working on her illustration.

@silver2zilver 8 лет назад

+ZIPPOD BEEBILBROXEN what's wrong with the definition of Pretentious? To be over ambitious, to love thyself. To me, she's real. She's RAW and she speaks from heart of truth. You see pretentious I see a woman who will be doing exactly what makes her feel right today, 10, 15, 30 years from now

@rioreason 5 лет назад

Christian Fountain It’s not her beliefs people are viewing as pretentious. She views herself as a great artist. She isn’t expressing any humility. Most people are expected to have at least an ounce of it, especially in regard to creative endeavors. Her work may be popular, but she has more than a little room for improvement in both skill and technique.

@rioreason 5 лет назад

ry flanigan If you can’t detect the haughtiness in the way she holds herself while talking about her work, you need to work on that. People are expected to have a certain amount of humility about their work. She sees herself as a great artist. One should always be aware of their flaws, or they’ll never truly be able improve and grow. She’s not expressing any of that. Her ego has been severely overinflated for whatever reason. Just because your work is popular doesn’t mean it’s good. If she showed just an ounce of humility, perhaps she wouldn’t be seen as so pretentious.

@artbytandy 8 лет назад

Vice needs to make a distinction between commercial artists and gallery artists. To be a gallery artist you don't particularly need to have good draftsmanship ability, if you make something that resonates with someone that is willing to buy your shit then that's good enough. Commercial artists have to be skilled in draftsmanship in order to acquire work, she sucks at drawing and painting it's pretty obvious but that's not what she's going after.

@purplegoat2500 8 лет назад

Everyone in this comment thread needs to take a fucking art class once in their life. When you're ignorant, if it isn't Michelangelo, it's crap. For example, she isn't a Modern artist.

Look at a Dali -you know it's a Dali - it's unique & majestically creative. Same with Pollock, Van Gogh, Picasso any great master. Look at a Crabapple -it looks like a dozen other illustrators. She's a good illustrator but compared to the masters she's a mediocrity. She lacks a vivid individualized creative mastery of her own authentic depth. Maybe in a decade or so -if she gets out of received behavior & artsy-fad concepts

@StephanieGonzalezStudio 4 года назад

This a 4 year old comment, but I agree that when she matures we could recognize her in her work. At the same time, these “masters” also had to go through the same process. For example, Van Gogh’s earlier works are so different than his iconic impressionist brush work we see today . Compare his painting “The potato eaters” to starry night.

As a working artist (though not in NYC), she's laying bare a lot of truth about the nuts and bolts of being a working artist. By discussing her privilege and access she's letting us in on her process that could otherwise be taken as pretension or even opinion, (see previous comments).

@DarkAngelEU 8 лет назад

As an art student I just picked out all the words from the intro that would be considered cliché and redundant to an artist when used describing them and their work: prolific, breed, pivotal, romantic, evolution, influential, modern. Being a journalist that's fine but please, these words are stating the obvious. Let the artist talk and make a description out of that, even when it comes down to biographies it is far more interesting to be inspired by the person you try to describe than using contrived vernacular. I would give the same advice for the video: do the interview first then make a video that shows the artist in a way that depicts the dialogue from the interview. She hates being inside and isolated from the world and there they are, sitting in her studio being all bland! Where is your passion for god's sake. VICE used to have an edge for these kind of things

Her work is very basic ...i would consider her as an ilustrator or activist not an artist...thats the problem now with these tipe of people they think that can take the arts and used to ilustrate their selfish needs.

Just another bourgeois Hipster. It's just wall decoration with a hint of extremely literal political satire.

I have to say that I really didn't want to like this woman. She did have some interesting things to say. I don't agree with most of it, but interesting none the less.

Who needs waterboarding to get a confession. Just send her in and let her just talk about her art. The poor soul will be confessing his guts in no time.
