Edit ProfileCareer
She has written three graphic novels for children, Zig and Wikki in Something Ate My Homework, Zig and Wikki in The Cow and "Lost in New York City: A Subway Adventure" under the TOON Books imprint. In advance of the book"s publication, in May 2012, Spiegelman and Mouly launched a Blown Covers tumblr which ran until October 2012. On the tumblr, the mother-daughter team hosted weekly themed "New Yorker" cover-esque contests with prompts such as Mother"s Day or the Trayvon Martin shooting.
Artists submitted sketches, and 12 winners were posted every Friday along with editorial commentary by Mouly and Spiegelman.
An image submitted through the website was published on the cover of the New Yorker in June 2012. As well as the contest, the tumblr also showcased images from the Mouly-Spiegelman archives, including old photographs and pages from Raw magazine and ran weekly artist spotlights.
In 2014 Spiegelman created the tumblr Curated Craigslist, which highlights remarkable furniture on craigslist.
