Orli Auslander
Orli Auslander is a British-born Israeli artist, writer, and illustrator known for feminist work. She began in fashion, making hats for celebrities and working with designers like Cynthia Rowley. She also helped design costumes for the movie Clueless and the CBS show High Society.
She later became a DJ and producer for Z93 and WLIR, hosting a show as "The English Muffin." She left radio in 2003 and returned to making art, with solo shows such as Pretty/Ugly about her experiences with misogyny and sexism.
In 2016 she published her first artist's book, I Feel Bad, All Day, Every Day. About Everything. It combines autobiographical drawings and writing about the guilt of being a woman and a mother. Blue Rider Press (Penguin Random House) published it, and The New York Times Book Review gave it a positive review. The book was adapted into NBC's I Feel Bad in 2018, with Auslander as a consulting producer; the show lasted one season.
Auslander's work is described as bold and provocative, and her drawings are praised for showing her unique point of view. She has spoken about her neuroses and balancing motherhood with her career. She is married to American writer Shalom Auslander, and they live in California with their two children.
