First Post yisss

In an attempt to create a more well - rounded social media presence, I have attached some links to some of my other art platforms! I'm very active on Instagram and I would enjoy talking to other artists, like I said, I'm only here to make friends....


I appreciate any help or suggestions, it always feels like I'm always shooting in the dark and I'm not entirely sure where (or what) the target is either....

Thanks, 

Sarah

Conservation Tales

Salamanders and Sea Turtles  During my time here at Ball State I was invited to join the Conservation Tales team, a children's book series teaching children's grades 3 - 5 about the importance of conservation of animals in the wild and introducing many different species of endangered animals. My first book was about Salamanders, the book was completed this past winter and is available for sale at  http://www.conservationtales.com/   This semester I am working on the next book about Sea Turtles!

Working on achieving your dream job might just do that for you... Here are some of the projects that I've completed over the semester... Above: An editorial piece based on a story from a magazine. The story talked about two farmers who fought over the newly divided land that they both had to fight for. The author detailed how the land was older than both of the farmers, and how the land doesn't really belong to any one person. This piece was based on a fortune cookie fortune, "Discriminating minds will lead you in the proper direction ..." I took it a political direct...

Editorial Illustration - WIP

For my Independent Illustration class I decided to paint a few editorial illustrations. I found this type of illustration to be one of my favorites over the years, very expressive and engaging, pulling readers in, which I is something I really appreciate. I took a few articles that I liked and made an illustration(s) for each. This first one was based on the article, Feminism's Toxic Twitter Wars from The Nation - you can read it here - https://www.thenation.com/article/feminisms-toxic-twitter-wars/ There is definitely some room for improvement and it might change later....
