Molly Kiely is an artist and cartoonist who currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area but will soon be abandoning it for her hobby ranch in Avra Valley, outside Tucson, Arizona. She was born and raised in Canada by draft-dodging hippie parents and received a degree in Fine Art Studio from the uber geeky University of Waterloo. She occasionally shows her pinup art in galleries. She has written and illustrated a number of comic books for Seattle-based Fantagraphics Books including the Diary of a Dominatrix and Saucy Little Tart series. She has published three books, Tecopa Jane, That Kind of Girl, and On Yer Knees Boy. A Blue Ruin favorite, she has shown her work in the Pinup Girl and Pinups on Parade exhibits in 2001 and 2002 and participated in the show DUOS: Collaborations with Sharon Mama Spell in 2003. She is unmarried and childless, and as such has retained her girlish charm. http://www.mollykiely.com
