Bad Memories

I sketched out some bad memories a few weeks ago.

Takeout > Make out

A mantra for 2014.

Long Distance Relationship

I've always ruled out long-distance relationships, but in approaching them again as an adult, I don't think they're half bad. Since my partner lives in a different country, I've been thinking a lot about this topic, and I figured I'd share some of my expert findings.

Boys who like posters

The quickest way to a man's heart is through 24x36 custom posters.
Or maybe my friends are just really cool.

My friend David Z, a good-looking cinematographer commissioned a poster and purchased a print from me! He even framed them! The first is the mascot for his house, Dwayne Johnson, and the second is a piece I made while watching Breaking Bad.

I also made a print of a friend's dogs which will be up on the blog as soon as I deliver it to him!

If you're interested in commissioning work, leave me a comment with a way to contact you!

Drawin' Dogs [WIP]

Spent most of yesterday drawing doggies for my friend Chris.
These are WIP portraits for a poster.
Above is Josie, below, Milo.
Weuf. Finished poster design to come.

Identity Design: 8 Bit Geek

My best pal Forest Gibson does a lot of work on the youtubes (among other things). You can see him here, here, here and here (with yours truly). He was on his way to VidCon last month, and needed some refreshed business cards. We got to talking and I volunteered to help him out. We came up with the idea to 8-bit pixel illustrate him, and came up with this final branding package.

I used more subtle colors for the print, but we ended up ramping them up and adding some fun pictograms into his twitter and facebook assets. How else do you describe a writer, director, producer, geek, gamer, photographer and laser tag enthusiast?

Expect more posts soon. It's been a while since I've updated, so I have a lot of work to share!
Love, Sarah

Portraits: Doug

Like a young JFK, don't you think?

Hope, Change, Doug Rudeen. 2012.

It's my favorite season

Today is my 21st birthday! And a beautiful fall day on Capitol Hill.
This past weekend I went for a walk through the neighborhood with my boyfriend. We like fancy houses and fall colors, for sure. I took some photos.

Also, today I finished three midterms and applied for graduation!

Definitely a really good day.

A quickie

Just a quickie from my notebook.
Because sometimes you gotta tell it like it is.

Text Messages to My Lover: 3

An old text, but one I wrote down a while ago. Boy, you made me so sad.

The Perfect Date

At a recent critique I was asked, "What's your fantasy?" as a way of pushing my inspiration.
Here you go, guys.

(Also, this is stored in a desktop folder called "Summer Jamz")

Text Messages to My Lover

Another in my real life text messages series. Sorry, Mom.

The Wheelie

This is my friend Luke. He rides fixed gear bikes, speaks Japanese and just graduated from college. We dated for a while, but I still think he's very handsome.

Happy Graduation, Luke.

Oh, and here is the original photo that I took of him:
