👼Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers Brilliantly Blessed Board Game!👼 Bring the gameshow home! (I wish. I just made this because I’m obsessed with the Righteous Gemstones)
⚓️ Now taking pre-orders for the Widow’s Bay Pamphlet! Link in the comments ⚓️ I designed this tourist guide featuring lots of nods to moments and events throughout the series, and in case there’s any doubt, zero AI was utilised in the creation of this.
So many people wanted me to do a full Widow’s Bay tourist guide, and I fiiinally did it! I’ve been working on this prototype featuring lots of little Easter eggs, including a nod to the scene where Patricia is looking through the freshly printed guides, only to find that they’ve missed out her poem.
Scroll to reveal the horror at Sunset Cocktails… A magic anaglyph design inspired by episode 4 of Widow’s Bay: Beach Reads, in which Patricia throws a party and not all is at it seems. I have prints of this up in my Etsy shop and glasses are included! Link in the comments
"One Wish" - my OBSESSION inspired design is now available as a print from @spoke-art.com. Link in the comments!
Reimagining some more recent horror film and series designs of mine as vinyl record soundtracks... a bucket list commission I’m yet to tick off!
I have a limited amount of prints of my HOKUM design available! Link in the comments. I read an interview with director Damian McCarthy, where he mentions the inspiration for the incredibly sinister Jack the Jackass was Pinocchio, so it felt fitting to do a design inspired by old Pinocchio posters.
My MOTHER! design for tonight’s screening at Revue Cinema. I rewatched it to make this and it really is such an underrated movie 🔥
POV: you get to your Widow's Bay hotel room and find this visitor guide waiting for you. I made this pamphlet with inspiration from vintage visitor guides and included a subtle nod to 60s series THE PRISONER - which this series has a few parallels with - via the typeface for the text at the bottom!
🗝️ HOKUM 🗝️ I read an interview with Damian McCarthy in ScreenRant where he mentions the inspiration for the incredibly creepy Jack the Jackass was Pinocchio, so it felt fitting to do a design inspired by old Pinocchio posters!
I’m running a contest with Spoke Art Gallery for someone to win one of my prints. You can enter here: www.instagram.com/p/DXR9elPEsg...
I just discovered the FacePaint feature on Procreate. Expect my art promoting to head in a new direction. Side note: Why does my jessica Rabbit design make me look like Homer Simpson
I’m running a 25% off end of month sale in my shop (until the 2nd of April). Lots of prints are up, including officially licensed Hammer Film designs, and gig posters for The Smashing Pumpkins, The Offspring, and The Cure 🤘 thisisfunisntit.etsy.com
First time I’ve cried over a rock since I lost my pebble Trevor 30 years ago 👎👎 #projecthailmary
Are you a band looking for cover art, flyer designs, merch or gig posters? I’d love to do it for you and my commissions are open! Drop me an email sarahsumerayonline.com/contact
Please help me choose a new headshot! Which photo best conveys ‘hire this artist, she’s cool and knows what she’s doing’?
Picking up this personal project again as it’s one of my favourites to do, with new additions being The Substance and Weapons. Inspired by vintage pulp fiction spot illustrations, I’ve been reimagining contemporary horror movies as old literature. Can you work out all the films?? 👀 1/2
A few people requested I put my Oasis Don’t Look Back in Anger 30th anniversary design on a T-shirt to buy, so I’ve done just that www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/8834...
I was recently commissioned by an author to illustrate a scene from their new book, as a pre-release teaser. I LOVE the concept of doing a promo as a page from a comic and there’s so much scope for it: film scenes, fashion lines, even the potential to illustrate song lyrics as an album teaser!
My cover art for @impulsenine.bsky.social record releasing in May, and my vinyl mockup for it (the real release may not look the same!). The 3rd image is my artwork for their cover of Muse’s Starlight, featuring the same character. Feels like there could be a full tale to be told about her one day 👀
An Art Nouveau-inspired cover design for @impulsenine.bsky.social version of Muse’s Starlight. Swipe to see the rough sketch the client sent me to work from. I love bringing people’s ideas like this to life 😍
As soon as I saw the premise of OBSESSION, I knew I had to do an alt movie poster for it in my favourite vintage comic mail-order ad style ✨
I entered a charity T-shirt design competition for Oasis’ 30th anniversary of Don’t Look Back in Anger, with this 60s psychedelic design. It sadly didn’t make the shortlist but was still fun to make. Thankfully, none of the winning designs look like AI and THAT I *AM* happy about!
We’ve got a Friday the 13th followed by Valentine’s Day coming up? Well, I had to.
That tribute Macaulay Culkin posted to Catherine O'Hara absolutely wrecked me. Especially this image 😭 It felt like the perfect one to illustrate
My variant comic covers for new horror series THE HAB, launching in April
It very sadly never went ahead in the end, but I was recently thinking about how cool it would’ve been if it had, so I decided to design what the cover might have looked like.
Back in 2023 a record label reached out to me about a potential project - they wanted to make a See, Hear, Read-along record, like the vintage ones that used to be released for children… but for Skinamarink, and it would feature my illustrations throughout.
