Sarah Gay-O'Neill - #nofilter Valentine


Quirky awkward Valentines are my favorite.
Much like love, sometimes you dive in with #nofilter.

The gorgeous Kate Feirtag.
Her beautiful, dreamy eyes really pulled me into this drawing.

Sorry this is so very late!
A very busy week has just ended, I am back on the horse :)




One of my starving-artist-fat-kid-food favorites.

Sarah Gay - Love series

"It was first grade
His name was Jacob.
He was the smelly kid
and he loved me.
He gave me a .25 cent ring.
He was my first grade boyfriend."


"We snuck away from our desks
We hid in the coat rack
Jacob had a tiny hole
in his pants.
He showed me something.
I was startled. "

"We shared our first kiss
On the fuzziest carpeted steps
I had ever sat on."


My mother, cousins, and I ca. 1989

Sarah Gay - Sunday Funday


I was inspired by the Sartorialist.
I couldn't get enough of this poor little rich girl.

Sarah Gay - "A Face Only a Mother Could Love"


I know this isn't a typical interpretation of, "a face only a mother could love". 


When I was 19 I signed my inexperienced, young, naive, name to my student loans thinking I was borrowing $50k for college...little did I know that they would inflate to over $200k before I was 30 years old.


Albert Lord (former CEO of Sallie Mae) is the face to this ugly company...and I don't even know how this man can look at himself in the mirror, knowing he has robbed an entire generation the chance to:
- own a home
- have children

- etc.

So I figure...
He must have a face that only HIS mother can love...because he's a greedy piece of shit.

Sarah Gay - Love is a Battlefield



My concept behind this drawing is: like a battlefield, life can be fleeting and each step must be taken with care. I feel the hourglass, cliche as it may be, symbolizes how fleeting our moments are. 
And with love, I feel that it's constantly flowing and can sometimes be disproportionate but surely, things always flip around.

Sarah Gay - Regal Flemish Love Goat



I have no words other than to say, I love absurd Flemish portraiture...and goats.
Why not combine two loves?

Sarah Gay - Love at First Sight




It was 1989
I was 6
 Batman was the first movie I had ever seen in a theatre.

It was love at first sight.

Thinking of days before now.

Sarah Gay- Love

Mmmm... hello
Firstly, I'd like to thank Kristina and Scott for inviting me to join this journey.
I am totally humbled and inspired by all these other amazing artists who are participating!

For my first contribution...I'm not sure I have anything to really write about except that for me, love is about finding that place and meeting there together. 
Where ever there is.
