Sara's Presentation
The Love of Making
It's pretty simple really—we are who were were as children. Regardless of your discipline, your tools, your age, or your experience, I think the root of all our creative passions and fortitude comes down to very simple things: love and passion, and listening to our inner 3rd grader. I'll be taking everyone through some of my silly drawings and explaining how my childhood, poor eyesight, and simple love of making stuff translated into picture making, as well as showing lots of behind the scenes for my process of meshing digital tools with the hand-made.
