I spotted these super awesome limited edition prints by Sarah Illenberger (shown above) which made me squeal with excitement. Literally. They are cunning, witty, clever and so much fun! And you can buy them right here.

After seeing these, my ferocious curiosity got the better of me once again, and I lost hours exploring Sarah’s incredible portfolio. Oh my. This woman is so bloody talented, it’s ridiculous.

 

 

So who is Sarah Illenberger? She is actually difficult to sum up in a single sentence, and her work almost impossible to categorise. But what the heck – I’m going to give it a go.

Sarah is a conceptual artist/ 3D illustrator/ set designer/ photographer/ all around mega talented and super clever chick. Based in Berlin, Sarah’s work is made by hand using various techniques such as knitting, embroidery, paper sculptures, drawings, models, installations, photography etc. The basis of her work is almost always about manipulating one thing into looking as something entirely different.

 

 

Sarah currently works as a freelancer for the likes of Neon, Vanity Fair, Time, and The New York Times Magazine. Yes, she is definitely known and sought after all over the place.

Whatever she creates, it is done with a healthy dose of humour, and her work is always meticulous and exquisitely executed. And anyone who creates an image of a pig using pork products as per Exhibit A is a dead-set legend in my books. Enough said.
