Harold Ramis / Egon Spengler Digital Caricature



 




Long time no post! Sorry about that! The time since the last post has been odd- graduated college, spent a year searching for jobs while doing sporadic commissions, and finally have a part time job now- hardly related to art- but am able to still slowly do commissions on the side while able to painstakingly pay off those college loans.

Well that has nothing to do with my latest art post but I have finally finished a digital piece using my newly acquired used Cintiq off ebay.com. So much fun and since I have a limited tight workspace, its easier to work with than having paint splatter everywhere! I do still love paint however, and I have noticed that my digital work lacks in a certain richness that my paintings have. But I hope you enjoy this!

I will try to update my blog, pictures, and links in the near future. For now I have two links: one to my deviant art portfolio

www.sarahmiele.daportfolio.com

and one to my Etsy page which is now home to my custom-made giant stuffed plush dragons, and I mean GIANT!

As for this image- I don't even know why but I have felt another bout of inspiration after the passing of Harold Ramis. I grew up on all of his movies without even knowing the brains behind them, and I always had a soft spot for Egon Spengler and Russell Ziskey. Along with the recent death of Robin Williams, this is one thing I just can't fathom. They were such constants! Such rocks on which comedy and movies we grew up on were built, and now like all things we thought were going to be around forever, are not. But like many, I stand behind the phrase "EGON but not forgotten." And it helps them seem a little bit closer.
