Our newest artist, Sarah Walsh!
We just took on the fabulous artist, Sarah Walsh. Here are a few questions Sarah answered in her bio and a sample of her artwork. Now you can see why we fell in love with her too. If you want to be represented by Lilla Rogers Studio, check out our Global Talent Search where you can win representation with Lilla Rogers Studio for 2 years! – Julia
Whom would you like to meet?
Wes Anderson, Marina Abramovic, Maurice Sendak…I know he’s gone now :(My grandfather met Billy Holiday when he snuck into a bar as a teenager. I always thought that was cool!
What question would you most like to be asked?
Would you like a free hour long body massage?What was your favorite illustration assignment?
A pop up card for Hallmark featuring a slew of sea creatures. I also love painting on wood.
woo hoo! Thanks for the intro ladies :)
Sarah’s work is gorgeous! That sun is soooooo adorable and the birds so quirky and happy! :D
Congratulations to you both Lilla and Sara! Super exciting, the “I can’t sleep at night, my mind is racing” kind I’m sure. Blessings.
Beautiful work, Sarah! Big congrats to you both!
Nice. But on another topic…”with thousands of submissions a year” and this new addition to your full roster of artists, why are you starting a global talent search?
Hi Roger. Great question! There are a few answers…
1. It’s way fun to have the Global Talent Search! We like to have fun! Exciting!
2. We get to see how artists respond to assignment briefs, rather than just viewing jpgs and websites. We’ll get to know the artists a bit more.
3. It’s a far more organized of a way to view all the work of interested artists rather than piecemeal, as the work comes in, and as the whole staff has time to review it.
4. We always need a new artist from time to time. Business is never static. We’re growing all the time. We’re not full, by the way. We have room for a few more! It’s based on: Are we staffed enough to handle the work? Are we growing and our clients are demanding more work? Yes and yes.
5. The Global Talent Search allows the artists who enter to get their work in front of our incredible panel of judges from across several hot industries, and (if they get shortlisted) to showcase it to the world in our online gallery – rather than just me and my staff seeing it when it is submitted by email.
Hope you will join us!
Wonderful news and well deserved, Sarah ^____^ Yay!
