This bold and beautiful comic is full of sassy club-singing sisters who you don't wanna mess with ...
We join Pinky, Sweets, Blackie, McQualude, Wendy and Wanda, the menacing powerhouse of ruthless rebels as they pay tribute to the ghosts of their founders… but be warned, few eyes have ever witnessed a secret Mean Girls Club gathering and fewer have lived to see another day...With ceremonial insect venom transfusions and snake worships just the start, these subversive sirens cause all kinds of mayhem as they seek out pure fear, intoxication, vice and adrenaline, sweeping like a cruel plague of pink and black.
Ryan Heskha truly turns the image of the stereotypical 50’s female upside down and inside out to give a new, sassy and defiant voice to these ladies of leisure.
Based in Vancouver, Ryan Heshka is a self-taught artist and illustrator. His childhood influences of antiquated comics, pin-ups, pulp magazines, sci-fi, natural history, music, and movies persist to this day, and his paintings are full of pop-culture references through the ages. Ryan primarily works in acrylic paint on wood panel, frequently embellishing with cuttings from pulp magazines. Ryan has exhibited extensively across Europe and North America including at Roq la Rue in Seattle and the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York.
