OH WORD?

SARAH LEE Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard (2022-2023) // Giclee fine art prints on 320gsm cotton rag paper

It’s spooky season, perfect time to check out and stock up on limited edition hand signed prints from Sarah Lee featuring her iconic monster toddlers. You can now own one Sarah Lee’s incredible works, based off her original unique and wonderful artworks just in time for Halloween.

My monster toddlers are big fans of the “Three Monster Toddlers” work, they love standing in the middle of the living room, starting up at them and picking out which one they are at that current moment. I think they’re a combination of all three, at all times.

Plus, some people may think little girls should be seen and not heard but those people are out of their mind. Sarah has a fantastic way of creating the cutest and spookiest scenes that remind you of that one book that you always wanted to read before bed but your parents thought it may keep you up at night. Who cares right? The imagery is too good to pass up.

SARAH LEE Three Monster Toddlers (2022-2023) // Giclee fine art prints on 320gsm cotton rag paper

> SARAH LEE is a self-taught Irish artist and illustrator working in London — full-time as a nurse and at a charity that runs workshops for people with mental health conditions.

MUST-WATCH

WATCH: ‘It Started With a Horse’ this Film Friday

Ever since my visit to M.T. Liggett’s political totems in Kansas, I can’t stop thinking about the overwhelming emotions of awe, joy, confusion, and inspiration that it brought me, and I can’t wait to get back as soon as possible.

After looking at some of the sculptures and totems, it left me with a lot of questions. Luckily for me, weeks after my visit, a documentary about the man, the myth, the legend that is M.T. Liggett was released and answered some of those questions.

This was a man who hated hypocrites. And he was gonna let you know about it. Watch this great documentary and then view some of the dozens of photos I took from my journeys to Liggett’s sculptures.
