Career
Hanawalt was born in Palo Alto, California. She graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2006, and she lived in New York City from 2009 until 2014, when she returned to California. She is a former member of Pizza Island, a cartoonist's studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn which included cartoonists Kate Beaton, Domitille Collardey, Sarah Glidden, Meredith Gran, and Julia Wertz.
Her illustrations and writings have been published in print and online periodicals including The New York Times, McSweeney's, Vanity Fair, and Lucky Peach magazine. From 2011 through 2013, she was a regular contributor to The Hairpin and produced a series of illustrated film reviews.
Her first comic series, I Want You, was published in 2009 by Buenaventura Press. In 2010, Hanawalt was the first woman to win an Ignatz Award for Outstanding Comic, for "I Want You #1."
In 2013, Drawn and Quarterly published My Dirty Dumb Eyes, Hanawalt's "one-woman anthology" of comics and illustrations, including previously-commissioned works. The collected stories and shorts range from autobiographical narratives to cultural observations, frequently featuring anthropomorphic animal-people and scenes of nature rendered in bright, detailed watercolors, and likened by one reviewer to "a grown-up Richard Scarry turned absurdist social commentator."
Awards and recognition
Print magazine named Hanawalt one of the best new, young designers in 2013. Her illustrated short story, "On the Trail with Wylie," won a James Beard Foundation Award for humor writing in 2014.
