Get ready to swoon. You’re going to see some amazing work for Sarah Papworth’s I Know An Artist book.
Every so often, one of my artists sends us work so magnificent that even after all these years of being an agent and seeing lots of top-notch work on a daily basis, I am absolutely blown away by the power of the work.
Sarah Papworth’s incredible book I Know An Artist (Quarto) is a masterpiece of imaginative work; each artist is portrayed with a different, tuned-in vibe: the color palette, the subject matter–even the lettering reflects the spirit of the artist.
I hope you enjoy Sarah’s work, and should you wish to buy the book, you can do so here.
