Celeste Mountjoy

Celeste Mountjoy is the creator of Filthy Ratbag - an online alter ego known for colourful grungy art that features a rotating cast of characters including rat human hybrid babes in bikinis, shit-talking, cigarette smoking cats, and sarcastic seagulls. They hold a distorted mirror to us that feels like a hilarious punch in the guts - it’s profoundly honest, dark, and humble. This year, Celeste teased all that out into a book. 'What the F*ck is This' is personal narrative that follows her life, her love, her losses, and her fears: including rejection, addiction, and death. On this episode of Out of the Box, she rolls through the book and the stories behind it, and of course, soundtracks the big moments. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
