She's one of the most prolific artists I've ever seen, slamming out new, really top-notch comics on an almost daily basis, with exceptional quality, storytelling chops and gorgeous brushwork. It's always exciting to see someone who's gung-ho embrace of the medium is matched by the talent. Knisely is probably #1 on my list of up-and-comers to keep an eye on and see what they do.

Someone should get Matt Thorn to write her a letter of recommendation :) Laura Park definitely deserves more attention... Why hasn't someone published more of her stuff yet? it boggles the mind. Another for the Kim Yale award is Hellen Jo (http://helllllen.org/) -- her current gallery work and comics stuff in Giant Robot is exceptional, and when the graphic novel she's working on RIGHT NOW comes out, it's gonna blow minds.
