Well, let me first start by saying that this was supposed to be a post featuring an illustration of a snakeskin clutch I won through a blog promotion, but since it’s not done yet, I thought I’d share some artwork I did when I was a teenager. I was scrolling through some of my old art folders, and found, well, mostly stuff too embarrassing to show anyone (like, um, gargoyles and modelesque vampires) but also some stuff that wasn’t too cheesy, like some portraits and self-portraits. It’s interesting to see how much my style has evolved since I was seventeen, but also how in some ways, it’s stayed the same. Well, anyway, here are a few cell phone pics I took of the illustrations. Geez I feel naked right now.
Me at four or five years old
Me at seventeen (Don’t mind the bitchy expression. I’m sure I was just…. concentrating hard.)
Portrait of model Shalom Harlow in color pencil
Top two: Portraits of friends,
Bottom: Girl in lust with her reflection
Edward Scissorhands (because what goth girl’s
art arsenal would be complete without him?)
Oh, and if you guys feel like seeing more artwork by other artists, head over to Sophia’s for Sunday Sketches.
Great!!!!!!

there's something to be said about fabulous teenage self art, drawings, and photographs. For me, at least, they represent a time when I could be a little bit reckless and still get away with it 🙂

WOW! Sabina at 17 you were a serious artist and the Edward Scissorhands sketch is amazing! I cannot draw at all…I'll have to try that 1/2 moon nail manicure…I have a lot of polish but never paint my nails…hoarding prob?? haha.
Wow!! you still have those skteches from the past?! How sentimental and lovely to think about! You have always been an artist and even thos eportraits of friends, I could not do a watercolor for that job! I've always thought of joining Sudnay Sketches…but sometime…
I like all the work! Love them!! It's always so nice to look at the past.
