About me: Hullo there. My name is Sally Harless. I am an artist living and working in Bloomington, Indiana. I draw pictures via printmaking processes as well as pens and pencils and paintbrushes. Most of them look like they came straight out of a children's book. Most of them also have sad animals for one reason or another. I think they are increasingly getting themselves into bad situations. Lately I draw beards that have things stuck in them and/or tell a story. Please do see my work at www.sadlyharmless.com
You can also own original pieces! See what is available at my Etsy shop.
Who I'd like to meet: *Other artists who make good stuff. Double points if you draw animals.
*People, bands, magazines, etc... who need illustrations, posters, album art, paintings, drawings, etc...
*Galleries who will put my work up and indie stores who will sell my stuff
