noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:41:00 +0000

Hey Guys!
Those who came to Baltimore, It was great meeting you! Those who didn't get to, Hopefully I'll see you at future conventions!

Baltimore was great. Met a lot of cool people, ate some awesome sushi. Good times ^_^ I'll definitely be trying to make my way back next year!

Baltimore Comic Con!

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:16:00 +0000

Hey Everyone!
Sorry it's been so long between posts, I've just been holy-crap,-oh -my-god,-why-me?! busy. But! This weekend is Baltimore Comic Con! I'm super excited to see everyone. I have new prints, stickers, more sketchbooks and a pencil ready to sketch for you! (end business schpeel)

So yeah, in other news....Scott Pilgrim was amazing. I was really impressed with it and Edgar Wright can never go wrong....didn't mean for the pun: but it happened. I want to go see it again, and I will damnit!!

I did my first mountain launch in my hang glider last week off of West Rutland's launch site. It was AMAZING. The sun was setting as I jumped about 1400' out into Vermont's pretty pretty sky. I was really nervous I'd fall short of the landing zone so I pulled in a lot and sank a bit, but for 7 minutes it felt like the most lucid dream humanly possible. My god, It's weird cause it happened so fast it feels like it was a dream. I even got to be a human vulture and pull a 360 over the highway before coming in to land in the field. I can't wait to do it again, and in fall it should be really really pretty.

Anyway! Gots me some Zombie Bomb Pinup-age to get going on. Then more Hasbro work....then sending out promo postcards...then getting Baltimore merch packed up....X.X
Also! Check out my new Scipionyx Dinosaur bust I just posted. I'm sending it out to be molded and should have it ready to start shipping out mid Sept. I'll accept pre-orders! Just send me a message!
Stay Classy,
Sara

Workie work Busy bee!

Hey Everyone!
Sorry it's been a while since the last post. I've been working my ass off getting ready for Baltimore and a Gloucester, MA art fair. Lots of new paintings to come!
Anyway, back to it!

Heroes Con was great!

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 19:58:00 +0000

Hey Everyone!
Had a great time at Heroes! Met a lot of cool people, had some great food. It really was an amazing convention. I can't wait to go back next year. Hopefully I won't have crazy flight schedules to keep to. I had to leave early, so sorry to everyone I didn't get to see or say bye to at the end of Sunday.
Next up is Baltimore Comic Con! I'm really hoping to have some new pieces done, more sketch cards and even some custom Mighty Muggs!

Also Thank you to everyone who bought a Back To The Future print! I'll be donating the proceeds to the Michael J FOx Foundation For Parkinson's Research soon!

Heroes KAAAAAAHN!!

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Mon, 31 May 2010 04:14:00 +0000

Hey guys!
Getting ready for Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC this upcoming weekend! I'll have new prints for your purchasing pleasure. I'm really excited to go. There's a lot of people I want to catch up with and meet! Plus I keep hearing something about having to try a lasagna pizza. I'm pretty sure anything more insane than a lasagna pizza could make the world crack in half, but this mixture of foods might just be right on the line.....least they're both Italian. ^_^
So pardon me if I'm a bit jumbled and in super blonde mode at the convention, I'm moving this week as well as wrapping up a sculpt for Hasbro. I should go back to semi-sane mode the week after where I will be starting a new exciting project as well as probably busting out some commissions! (hopefully there's commissions, I gots a lizard to feed and his bugs start to add up $$) LOL.
I am also starting to become veeery interested in power kiting. Maybe I should try and purchase some health insurance first though....nah, more incentive not to f*ck up. :D As long as I don't mess up my feelers!

Anyway, I'm off, gotta pack tomorrow for a potential rainy move day. Wish me luck and hope everyone has a great Memorial Day!

No Big Apple Con For Me...

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Tue, 18 May 2010 20:50:00 +0000

Hey quick update guys,
So Big Apple Con changed their date to the first weekend in October. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to this one because of the date change. But I'm gonna be a pretty pretty bridesmaid for my very good friend's wedding, which I'm super excited about!
So hopefully I can get into NYCC (Oct 8-10) But I have to wait till about the end of this month to hear back from them. Soooo mmmyeah. That's a lovely little slice of news I was served today from the big e-mail pie.

But! anyone in the New England-y area can come find me at Manchester, NH's Granite Con May 23rd!

Also! New pieces up in the Linewerk: Icons gallery section!

Later!

New Pieces Hot Off The Desk!

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Tue, 11 May 2010 00:52:00 +0000

So! I've been a busy little bee trying to get a batch of new work to show at some of my upcoming conventions. May 23rd's my next one is in Manchester, NH for Granite Con! Come say Hi!

So, I've been watching a sh*t-ton of Mystery Science Theater 3000 lately. My god, there are few times when true genius is shared with the common public and I believe MST3K is one of those cases. Have to say that I like the Mike era a bit better, so here is my tribute to the Robot Roll Call to the left.

What else...hmmm....Oh! Went hang gliding for the first time this season last week....wind direction kinda sucked but I managed to make it back up to the 250' launch after having not flown for about 6 months.

Oh. I also smashed my left pinkie on my speakers....that have blunt corners...and somehow put a gash in the top of my finger.....SARA SMASH!!

Well back to work! I gots me a little commission with a Mr. Kit Fisto to start!
Tootles!

The Convention Marathon is OVER...for a few weeks.

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 19:45:00 +0000

Hey Guys! Thank you to everyone who came to say hi at the last bunch of conventions I attended. (C2E2 friggin' rocked! Can't wait for next year) Just came back from Pittsburgh Comic Con on Sunday/Monday morning and my GOD, that drive sucked.
So now I'm swamped with commissions (I have food moneys!) and I'm trucking through them. I'm also planning some stuff to get ready for big ol' Heroes Con in June. It's going to rock. I keep hearing great things about it and I'm so excited to see some people again that I only briefly got to chat with. You guys know who you are. Haha.
Anyway, first done on my list was the cute little kitty you see to your left. This was a portrait of a clients tuxedo kitty adorable extreme! Cat's are so much fun to draw.
Anyway, I also want to give a shout out to one of my best friends, Abby who's having her birthday tomorrow! WE....WILL....EAT...SUSHI!
Also, if you're around Manchester, NH May 23rd come say hi to me at Granite Con! Should be a blast!
Peace!

Boston Comic Con 2010 report, And now C2E2!

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 14:26:00 +0000

So This last Boston Comic Con was AMAZING. (Photo evidence at the awesome that is Jim Lee, taken with my friend Pat)
I got to meet so many cool people, get portfolio critiques from some huge influences of mine,
(holy crap, Skottie Young, Jim Lee and Sergio Aragones!) And got to meet Amber Benson (Tara from Buffy) She was so sweet too, despite my huge geek out. >.<
And I got the opportunity to donate a cover sketch to the Inkwell Awards! It's up on ebay for you to purchase and support this foundation!
HERE:
http://cgi.ebay.com/MARVELS-PROJECT-REMARK-BLACK-WIDOW-SARA-RICHARD_W0QQitemZ320516505569QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4aa045bfe1#ht_929wt_1167

Anyway, this weekend I'm off to Chicago to C2E2! I'll be sharing a table so I 'll probably just be bringing prints and the sketch book. But I had so many extra stickers that I might be giving some of those out too.
But Yeah!
If you're in the Chicago area, come say Hi! It should be a pretty bitchin show!

Boston Comic Con's A-comin'!

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 03:14:00 +0000

Hey Everyone!
So I hope you're getting ready for Boston Comic Con April 10-11! You are? Good!
It's going to be a blast. I have just about everything to have a pretty kickin table. Like oh...Merchandise! Plus a shiny new banner with Phoenix on it. ^_^ Hoorah!

So yeah, I saw "How To Train Your Dragon" this weekend...ohhhh twice. Once in 3-d and once in 2-d. 3-D was AMAZING. The flying scenes were epic, the story executed beautifully, the character design= amazing. Toothless is one of the best characters I've ever seen. Seriously, the cuteness to scary ratio on that guy: perfectly even. Plus he looks kinda like a mix between a cat and my pet bearded dragon, Charlie (take a look at my facebook gallery to see him!) But yeah, amazing. It seriously is tied with Jurassic Park as my favorite movie. And I LOVE JP. So, if you haven't seen it, perhaps you weren't swayed by the commercials (which I don't think do the movie justice) perhaps you say to yourself "Puh-sha! Dragons! Mere Child's play! I am far too sophisticated and stiff lipped for that nonsense!" But for the love of GAWD. Go see this movie. I cried like 4 times. >.< Not sad really, just moving. I've been gushing about this movie for days. Gush Gush Gush. ....That's a weird word. Anyway! I've been working far too late lately and now I need to be unconscious. Goodnight!

Interview on SigmateStudio.com!

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:41:00 +0000

Hey Guys!
My interview with Sigmate Studio just went up! Check it out!
http://sigmatestudio.com/
Also, finished some new art recently adding to the Line-werk Icons: Phoenix. Sketches: Shaak- Ti, and Paleo-Femmes: a new Camarasaurus piece in graphite.
I'm planning on busting out a couple more pieces to make into prints before the giant convention tsunami that is April. (Don't freak out...don't freak out...) So hopefully a movie version Hit-Girl will just make it. I will also be trying to concentrate on more dinosaurs to be ready for when the ad in the next Prehistoric Times is published. I'm thinking the inkwerk section is going to get mighty filled up soon. Speaking of soon, the store WILL be going up, I swear! Until then if you need a print o' mine (and you know you do...you know, nothing brightens up a study quite like the Rocketeer! or a giant Carnotaurus!) Hop on over to Comic Art House!
http://www.comicarthouse.com/
Well I gots me some work in the mornin'. Goodnight everyone!

Cheshire Cat Contest Entry

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 02:07:00 +0000

Gooooood Evening...
So I've been a bit busy these past few days. I stumbled upon a contest from Sketchaholic in which Kei Acedera will be looking at submissions of interpretations of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. "So!" Says I, "Why the hell not? That will be quite fun! (Chortle, Guffaw Guffaw!)" So I thought and thought on how I should go about doing this and like all good ideas it came in the shower. And here it is. I'm really happy how the colors came out. I wish I would've made his head a bit more floaty, but I'm happy with it! I really can't wait for the movie. I think Helena Bonham Carter's giant head might be a little freaky though...

Anyway, The voting for the Cheshire Cat contest starts Thursday Feb. 18 and ends Feb. 19th, please check out the entries and vote on your favorite! There are a lot of impressive pieces of work!

Later Everybody!

Busy Busy!

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 02:07:00 +0000

Hey Everybody!
Been a while since I updated. I've just been really busy and got another cold. Hooo-rah. I love not being able to breathe out of my nose. >.< Anyway, just finished a commission so I thought I'd throw it up. (That sounded a little gross given the current health thing....yeah.) Another little tidbit! The store should be opening up soon, I'll be having some really nice prints come in soon!
Oh and I'm totally going to C2E2 to share a table with some crazy good artist buddies, hope to see some of you there, come say hi!
The new piece is from and anime called "Get Backers" featuring the main characters, Ban and Ginji. It's a fun series, haven't watched it in forever though.
Peace!

My Little Rocketeer kick.

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 03:29:00 +0000

Hey people,
So somehow I've managed to miss watching one of the coolest movies ever, and I'm not talking about The Land Before Time this time, yeah, it's The Rocketeer. I don't know how I missed this but I finally watched it and was on a Rocketeer kick for the last week. I found a place that makes the jacket, and I have labeled it my birthday present to me. Rockin.' So check out the gallery (Linewerk- Icons) for new Rocketeer pics and an Alphonse Elric (Full Metal Alchemist) piece. Cause I gotta get an anime portfolio going, and seriously, who doesn't love Al?
Also, I've been inspired to make a Back To The Future piece and have a percentage of the print sales donated to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. That man is possibly one of the greatest creatures on this planet. Fer real.

Anyway, after spending most of my holiday vacation from work being sick, I'm going to end it with bombing the crap out of my system with some Vitamin C. x.X Later guys!

Bastion's 7 Contest Entry!

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 05:41:00 +0000

Hey Everyone!

Hope everyone had a great holiday. Mine was awesome, got to see friends and family I haven't hung out with for a while because of work. But I was also keeping busy.

A few days ago on Deviant Art I heard about a contest involving Sean 'Cheeks' Galloways "Bastion's 7" characters and being a huge fan of his work, (don't even get me started on the character designs for Spectacular Spiderman) I busted my ass to get a piece done. (See left)

You can see my piece and all the other entries on Schoolism.com (register, then go to the "TV" tab and then to "upload and vote") Voting on pieces starts Monday 12/28 at noon and runs till Tuesday 12/29 at noon.

Other than that I did some sketching today (check out the "sketches" gallery...Listened to a lot of Flight of the Conchords so I ended up drawing an adorable Brett and Jemaine. And a Lady Gaga, 'cuz....ya know...it's Lady Gaga and I've had "Bad Romance" stuck in my head for the better part of a week.

So past that I'm currently working on an Alphonse Elric picture to get ready for a couple anime conventions I have tables at. All's I got on the anime side of work is Vash, so I gotsta get crackin' there. I do have a Sailor Moon (Super S: Dem's bows be pretty.) almost done, but it needs tweaking. And as always I'm trying to get some Paleo-Femmes underway so possible costumes can be made from those designs. I swear I'm having nightmares over casting up the skulls.

Ra-ra-a-a-a Roma-Ro-Ma-Ma Gaga Ooh- La-La...

Welcome to the new SaraRichard.com!

noreply@blogger.com (Sara) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 16:36:00 +0000

So I finally have a real nice professional site! Thanks to Kieran Chapman Design to help me with that.
I'll be putting up a store shortly when I restock my inventory and get more merch. Stay tuned for more art to come soon kids!
