Praise for Feather:
“Tyler Cohen’s Feather shook me, leaving me feeling like I had just witnessed an unsettling dream. She creates an atmosphere that is equal parts love, beauty, and terror. This book is beautiful and strange, uncanny.”
~Leela Corman, Victory Parade, You Are Not A Guest, and Unterzakhn
“Such a heartfelt, poignant comic about connecting threads, breaking free and letting go. Quiet, thoughtful, intricate, and colorful — I love getting lost in Tyler’s world.”
~Rina Ayuyang, The Man in the McIntosh Suit

Winner of the 2017 Bisexual Book Award for Graphic Memoir, Primahood: Magenta interweaves the true vignettes of MamaPants with the surrealism of the Primazons.
"Mama Pants juxtaposes comics about frequently hilarious, often terrifying, always glorious experience of raising a girl in America with beautifully surreal artwork which explores the Id of parenting itself. Wild and messy, truthfully funny and casually radical, this is an amazing, vibrant, important book."
~Michelle Tea, author of Black Wave

Fine art, comics, illustration, all with my beloved brush and colored waterproof India ink. Recently, I've been experimenting with water-soluble ink pencil, as well. I've been known to geek out in discussions about favored watercolor paper (hot-press, smooth!).
My style ranges from sketchy to finely detailed compositions. Whether in book-form or in gallery installations (I like to call these room-books), I consider my work to be comics. One of the great things about the comics medium is its capacity to use multiplicity of voices and simultaneity. Art is a means of engaging in conversations and contemplations. With this in mind, I like to raise questions and stimulate thought and feelings. I'm not here to provide answers. As with all dialogue, the take-away is collaborative.
