Cristy C. Road is a Cuban-American artist and writer. Blending her political principles, sexual identity, and social inadequacies, Road lives to testify the beauty of the imperfect. Her endeavors in illustrating and publishing began when producing the punk rock zine Greenzine for ten years. She has since illustrated countless record album covers, book covers, political organization literature, magazine articles, and more. Road has published an illustrated novel about high school entitled Indestructible, a postcard book entitled Distance Makes the Heart Grow Sick, and Bad Habits, an illustrated love story about healing, drugs, gay nightlife, and her telepathic connections to the destruction of New York City. Road’s work has also been featured in the anthologies Baby Remember My Name: New Queer Girl Writing, Live Through This, Reproduce and Revolt, and countless other published works. She has toured nationally and internationally on her own and with Sister Spit. She is currently working on a tarot card deck with Michelle Tea. Her latest novel Spit and Passion (a graphic novel about coming out, maintaining cultural roots, and an obsession with Green Day) is due out on Feminist Press in the fall. She hibernates in Brooklyn, NY.
