Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Sarah! Currently it's snowing outside my window in my little studio in Canada. I work in children's books, comics, and indie games. Here are some of my old and new works.

A band of Irish faeries ride into the moonlight, prepared for battle. A little girl stands in the middle of a flower field in the mountains, holding out a cup for a single drop of milk from a huge cow. A book cover of a Legend of Zelda themed cookbook where characters from the series interact with a food-themed world. Hyrule castle is set on a huge cake. In a blissful garden with topiaries in the shape of large animals, its gardener, a little boy, strikes a pose. Behind him is a ivy covered cottage, a mountain backdrop, and a heart shaped cloud.

It's release day! When the Air Sang is officially on shelves!

Five years ago, I saw my first cicada, and now ... I couldn't be prouder of how this story has come together. @anderkaya.bsky.social and Annick Press, you've outdone yourselves.
Two copies of the book When the Air Sang (by Laura Bontje and Sarah Whang) are surrounded by cicada sculptures and real cicada husks. Text says "Some things are worth the wait. Available now."

When you color, do you keep the colors true to the original, or do you prefer to add your own flair? My family and I had so much fun coloring our own versions of @anderkaya.bsky.social's art from When the Air Sang today!

Free coloring sheet: www.annickpress.com/Books/W/When... #AnnickPress
The picture book When the Air Sang is open to a spread showing a young girl kneeling in a garden surrounded by flowers and insects, looking at the reader through a magnifying glass. Beside the picture book are some pencil crayons and markers, and three coloring sheets featuring the scene from the book. Each sheet has been colored by someone of a different age with a different coloring style.

Sound in Motion Studio: 1570 Highbury Ave N. (Shoes are left at the door, so wear your fave socks!)

In a text box, "Saturday, April 12, 2:30-3:30 pm. Sound in Motion Studio, London, Ontario. This is a shoes-off facility. See post for info."

A man says "sometimes, I have a fantast about being lightly grilled." A large set of tongs places the man on a hot grill. "My skin would burn, but it owuld be very pleasurable." He relaxes in the prone position on top of the grill. "And I would compare my grill marks with other grill guys." The man is at a job interview and completes the classic thought "but other than that, I would say my greatest weakness is that I'm a perfectionist."
