[edit | edit source].jpg)
Moen graduated from Pitzer College with a BA in Illustrated Storytelling in 2006.[1] She identifies as queer.[2] She and her husband, fellow artist Matthew Nolan, have been married since October 2008.[3]
Moen is the creator of the self-published autobiographical online comic DAR![4] which has been collected into self-published print volumes.[5] She also has contributed comic work to Best Erotic Comics 2008 (Last Gasp), True Porn Volume 2 (Alternative Comics), Flight Volume 1; and Unsafe for All Ages, a collection of erotic short stories by gay and lesbian artists published by Prism Comics in 2005.[6] In 2004, Moen was profiled as a promising new talent "taking over the comic world with her stories about queer culture, sex, humor and cute girls" by Sequential Tart.[7]
In 2011, she began collaborating with Marvel Comics writer Jeff Parker on Bucko, a murder mystery/farce webcomic set in Portland. The story concluded in 2012, and was published in a collected volume by Dark Horse Comics.[8]
Moen is a member of Periscope Studio.[9] She was among the comic book artists featured at the 6th annual Stumptown Comics Art Show in April and May 2010 at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts.[10]
Since April 2013, Moen has been working full-time on her webcomics project Oh Joy, Sex Toy, which centers around "reviews of everything that relates to sex, sexuality and the sex industry".[11] The series, which updates with a new review every Tuesday, has garnered a great deal of positive attention, including a reference in Dan Savage's advice column Savage Love.[12] Strips have also been syndicated on several websites including Bitch Media[13] and Fleshbot.[14]
Moen and Nolan wrote and illustrated the 2021 graphic novel Let's Talk About It: The Teen's Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Being a Human.[15]
In addition to her comic work, Moen worked as Production Assistant in the Storyboard Department on Henry Selick's 2009 film Coraline.[6]
