WHEN I DRAW, PEOPLE CALL ME RITA CALZONE.
RITA CALZONE IS A MADE UP NAME I CAME UP WITH BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY ILLUSTRATIONS MATCH THE DRAMA OF RITA HAYWORTH AND THE ATTITUDE OF RITA PAVONE -I PROBABLY JUST THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES ONCE IN 2010 WHILE EATING A SANDWICH IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER WHILE PROBABLY NOT DOING SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE UNIVERSITY - BUT RITA CALZONE ACTUALLY EXISTS, AND SHE WAS OK WITH ME USING HER NAME ON INSTAGRAM TO POST DRAWINGS ABOUT ANECDOTES OF MY LIFE AND SMALL LITTLE DETAILS I DON’T WANT TO FORGET (@RITACALZONE).
