Publisher's Weekly Tiny Blessing's Book Review
Hello! I’m Sarah Walsh, maker of books and illustrated goods. My passion is creating magical worlds rich with color, thoughtful narratives, and endearing characters. My drawings and hand lettering can be found on anything from a Blue Q tote bag to a fully illustrated version of Roald Dahl’s classic book Matilda. My influences are an eclectic mix of ‘80s pop culture, vintage children’s books, mid-century design, and folk art. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of illustrating over 20 picturebooks with top publishers all over the world. Alongside my partner Colin Walsh, I also make printed goods for our online shop Tigersheep Friends via our trusty riso printer Aunt Ruby.
Let’s make something together. :)
