On an evening in December 2022, Sara Barkat sat down to draw. What resulted was a small collection of sketches: the original Sadbook. Taken with her new little character, Sara created the official Sadbook Collections. With a revamped vibe and art style, these mostly-daily comics are peeks into the musing, existential thoughts, introverted opinions, and comedic situations of a stick figure human.
Sara is a lifelong artist and writer who enjoys many mediums, from hand-drawn pen and ink to intaglio. She has multiple books, including a surreal literary collection of sci-fi short stories, an anthology of nature poetry, and an illustrated graphic novel of The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (with a humorous matching Sanity Journal.) Sara is also a book editor with T.S. Poetry Press.
