Illustrations by Sarah Coleman
Sarah Coleman, aka Inkymole, is a freelance illustrator and lettering artist working for clients in advertising, design, publishing, and packaging.
Based in the Midlands, England, she graduated from the University of Central England with a First Class Honours in Illustration with an award for Experimental Typography. Her first job was as a props-maker for the Royal Shakespeare Company, later moving into three-dimensional illustration (a love of which can be seen re-emerging at Write Off The World) before gradually becoming the pen-and-ink, word-heavy work she is best known for today.
Sarah lives with her partner of thirteen years, who is also her right-hand-man in the business and in Factoryroad, a music project.
She collects dolls, records, nibs and ink bottles, rides a bike and bakes a lot of cakes (her chocolate and cocoa bean won a competition once, a fact she is unreasonably proud of).
Delighted to be drawing daily for clients who include ...

I arrived at a full-time career in illustration and typography via extra time served in the bizarre and magical worlds of pirate radio, lecturing, youth work, theatre and local newspapers. Now into my second decade of creating words and pictures for an international client base, I've held solo exhibitions in London, Leeds, Birmingham, Manhattan and Rhode Island. The second and third fingers of my right hand are permanently stained with black ink, which can only be removed (for special occasions) with bleach!
