Cute Nose issue 1 was reviewed thoughtfully in Broken Pencil Magazine; web version available to read in full over here or below:

“I can’t get out of the tub,” laments the main figure of Cute Nose as their form begins to become liquid, flowing deeper into the water. Depicting a series of movements that evoke the fluidity of form, this abstract comic work is an evocative work. Artist Rotem Anna Diamant examines ideas of identity and mental health vis a vis the limits of the physical body. Throughout Diamant’s mostly-pictorial work, figures take on a fluid shape; bending, distorting, and flowing across the page, they take on different and unexpected aspects. The art is delightful and charming as it wanders through creature shapes and furniture that opens into different realms; features such as the nose, given great weight by our protagonist, become exaggerated and emphasized. The tub is a consistent focus throughout, a container through which Diamant’s main character explores their thoughts. It becomes the mouth of a creature, a ship, a witch’s house, and all the while our protagonist explores their own different shapes and characters within it. They cling to the safety presented by a circumscribed vessel. “I’m small and safe in here. I can be who I am,” the protagonist says, sinking ever deeper into its comforting shape. Inside this tub, both reader and character have the freedom to explore who they are, who they want to be, and who they could be if they might so choose. – Pip Bradford

Domino Books:

“Truly brilliant mini comic making by Diamant, the work here feels like the ultra aesthetic approach to comics as a stage where anything can happen that you might see in early newspaper strips…but all of that is filtered through inky classic zine making aesthetics. The minute I saw these, I knew they needed to be in the Domino store, beautiful stuff.” – Domino Books

From Toutoune Gallery in Toronto 🖤:

“little collections of fantastical comics with overlapping characters, and careful thoughts 😌. Very poetic and playful, printed on pastel shades. (2021-2023)”

From Gynoid Distribution, “this is a spell”, large format black and white art zine by Joseph Strazzanti and Rotem Anna Diamant collecting drawing collaborations over several months in 2025:

“Rotem is one of the most interesting DIY cartoonists of the moment, presenting in this collaboration vivid penline mandalas replete with hidden gags and subliminal messages. Art to pour over! I am incredibly happy to have their work available here.”
