My name is Sarah and I am a freelance illustrator, cartoonist, and graphic designer who lives in New York City with my husband, my two dogs, and a bunch of cats. I have been freelancing for more than ten years and have worked on everything from books and magazine covers to posters, book covers, and business cards. I have been designing for as long as I can remember, and I am still designing for my own design company.
I started freelancing in 2005. In 2009, I was contacted by three of my friends by email asking if I could do some illustrations for their online magazine, The Book Girl. The first piece I did was for the cover story on the book The Rise of the Paper Book. I was also commissioned to do a comic strip for the magazine.
I still love doing illustrations and designing, but I find that there are a lot more graphic design jobs out there and it is becoming more and more difficult to find the time to do both. In fact, I am looking for better ways to spend my time.
I am looking for a new challenge, so I’m currently trying to figure out how much I can actually do. I have never drawn a comic strip before, as I am not a graphic designer. I find myself constantly thinking of new designs and trying to come up with new concepts.
A lot of people are designing comics with no graphic designers, but I found myself asking myself, “what if this was a book?” The answer was that it wouldn’t be a book, but a “series” of books, and it would also be a comic. So I would get it published in a series of books. I would then design a series of books one at a time, and eventually it would be a book.
Comic books are a great way to teach a kid about art, but it also lends them a lot of responsibility. You’ve got to be able to draw, color, put words together, and write. It’s much more important than anything else, and it’s something that if you’re not able to do, you cant write and you cant draw.
Comic books can be quite risky, and that part of it is why I say that it is the best way to teach your kid to draw. I dont think it is the best way to teach kids to write, but it is the best way to teach them to draw.
I love both of the three-part comics I linked to above. They are very good at the basics, but their best use is when the basic ideas are stretched to their full potential. In comics, you can use a simple story of a character who is bullied, but the kid who gets bullied in the end becomes a strong person, and the story ends with the bullied character doing something good for someone or helping someone out.
In comics, you can just write about something that is happening, but the ending is usually tied to something that happened in the first place. For example, in Triplett’s first comic, a girl from school gets bullied because she draws on her lunchbox, and she makes it her life-long goal to get bullied. I think it’s a good lesson for kids, as it forces them to think about the consequences of their actions.
In the case of triplett woolf garretson, all of his goals are tied to something that happened in the past. It’s not like I’m going to forget about this character ever, but the story ends with him doing something good for someone. He saves a person who’s drowning in her own tears in a drowning situation, something that usually isn’t even a big deal.
