Molly Crabapple : Art Work

Molly Crabapple (a.k.a. Jennifer Caban) was born in 1983 in Far Rockaway, New York; living in Brooklyn. She is an award-winning artist, author, model and founder of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. Crapapple is a self-taught illustrator who learnt how to draw by copying books like “Alice in Wonderland” and “A Tart’s Progess” in a Parisian bookstore. Her drawing style is a fusion of ink and watercolors, and her painting themes look like they are part of an imaginary magical circus coming from the Victorian and Rococo eras.

Crabapple started her career as an artist’s model, and later in time opened her own burlesque life-drawing class–having founded Dr Sketchy’s Anti-Art School in 2005. Her school has been so succesful that it has been branched out in all the five continents of the world.

As an illustrator, she has commercially worked for numerous magazines and newspapers such as SCREW Magazine, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Marvel Comics the Bloomberg Corporation, Playgirl, and more. She is also co-author (with John Leavitt) of “The Official Dr. Sketchy’s Rainy Day Colouring Book” and the comics “Scarlett Takes Manhattan.”
