Since then, she&#8217;s amassed an impressive following on Instagram (323k at this writing). Her savvy publisher took note and released a book of her Instagram drawings, <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1984801511\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Excuse Me: Cartoons, Complaints, and Notes to Self<\/a>\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>featuring 500 of her signature, personal-yet-universal drawings. We talked a bit about the new book and where it fits into her growing catalog.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>How did <em>Excuse Me<\/em> come to be &#8230; <em>Passing for Human<\/em> came out just a year ago, that&#8217;s a tight turn around.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My publisher bought <em>Excuse Me<\/em> about two years ago, before <em>Passing for Human<\/em> came out, and I\ufe0f think I\ufe0f started working on it right away. I\u2019d already done all the thinking work, so it was just a matter of book design. You can tell how bad a book designer I\ufe0f am by the fact that I\ufe0f said \u201cjust.\u201d Since the original Instagram drawings were photographed on my iPhone rather than scanned, and since I\ufe0f don\u2019t save the originals, I\ufe0f decided to redraw everything. I\ufe0f drew it all small, as I\ufe0f do for the Instagram drawings, and scanned it in very high resolution, and blew it up a little. I\u2019m happy with how it turned out: the cover is nice, and the color, and the paper. I\u2019m grateful to the cover design and book layout people I worked with at Random House (Robbin Schiff and Sarah Feightner, respectively).<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you go about organizing the drawings in <em>Excuse Me<\/em>, is there a story through-line or is it more of a traditional &#8220;collection&#8221;?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At first, I\ufe0f wanted to organize the drawings chronologically, like my Instagram feed. I\ufe0f ended up organizing them by subject. It still feels chronological to me, though, because since the feed is autobiographical, I\ufe0f tend to deal with one subject at a time over a given period: one month, all my cartoons will be about a breakup, one month they\u2019ll all be about writing, one month they\u2019ll be about social overwhelm, etc. I\ufe0f tried to tell a story with the organization of cartoons within each chapter. For instance, the \u201clove and dating\u201d chapter begins with early-stage dating, progresses through later-stage dating, on to sex, then to love, and then to breakups.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Passing for Human<\/em> and <em>Excuse Me<\/em> both seem very personal, how did the experience of creating each differ? Did you prefer one over the other?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Passing for Human<\/em> was an autobiographical graphic novel &#8211; it took about six years of trial and error to make. (It was harder to make than my first graphic novel, <em>A Bintel Brief<\/em>, which was less personal, and which I\u2019d outlined for a grant proposal before I\ufe0f made it). The cartoons in <em>Excuse Me<\/em> weren\u2019t made for a book &#8211; there was no sitting at a desk staring at the wall; I\ufe0f just drew ideas as they came to me and posted them on Instagram. Pure joy. There was a lot of design stuff, though, after the fact. I\ufe0f usually equate extensive Photoshop and careful tracing work with freelance projects, rather than creative work, so this was a merging of worlds for me: a helpful one, I think.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anything in <em>Excuse Me<\/em> that has not appeared on Instagram?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Everything in <em>Excuse Me<\/em> has been published already, mostly on Instagram, but I\u2019ve also reworked most of the drawings. I\ufe0f doubt there\u2019s anyone who\u2019s seen all the drawings on Instagram, so I\u2019m not so worried about boring people with old material &#8211; but I\ufe0f didn\u2019t realize that it would be hard to get excerpts of the book published, since everything had already been published in some form. I\ufe0f kind of expanded on one of the cartoons for an excerpt <em>The New Yorker<\/em>, and made it look more like something that would appear in print. It was fun to do. I\ufe0f learned something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does having a book of drawings that you didn&#8217;t expect to publish GET published change anything about the way you approach your work on Instagram now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not really. I\ufe0f do wonder if the drawings in <em>Excuse Me<\/em> will be read differently on paper than they were on Instagram. Paper is a slower medium than the internet. I\ufe0f wonder if they\u2019ll hold up. I\ufe0f bet some of them will and some won\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Each of your books so far has been very different in essence, do you think you&#8217;d do this sort of collection again? Or do you prefer the graphic novel process, or perhaps something completely new for your next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m already mostly finished with my next book. It\u2019s a version of the book of Genesis (from the Torah, not the Christian Bible), with a female God. The character originated in <em>Passing for Human<\/em> &#8211; she\u2019s child-like and sweet, motherly in a way, little-girlish, not stern and in a power trip like the bearded entity we all know and love. The story is about her creation of, and longing to be seen by, her creations, Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc\u2014a bunch of tiny men.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to do more Instagram collections in the future, if the opportunity arises. I\ufe0f hope the part of me that makes graphic novels becomes more like the part of me that makes Instagram cartoons: direct and biting, with an innate sense of proportion and not a crippling amount of self-consciousness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Order <strong><em>Excuse Me: Cartoons, Complaints, and Notes to Self<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/598241\/excuse-me-by-liana-finck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Random House<\/a> or on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1984801511\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Liana-Finck\/e\/B00J1UAG6S?ref_=dbs_p_pbk_r00_abau_000000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find all of Liana&#8217;s books on Amazon<\/a> | Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/lianafinck.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/lianafinck.com\/<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lianafinck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Follow Liana on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cartoonist Liana Finck&#8217;s work has been appearing in The New Yorker since 2015.
