About 52ills
52ills.com was an ongoing project to create one piece of art per week throughout the year of 2009. Scheduling dictated periodic posting delays, but 52 illustrations were completed by December 31, 2009.
In the spirit of consistency, I have decided to post completed on this site, although it isn’t every week.
About the Artist
Hatched from a fire-and-ice comet hailing from the Orion Nebula, Rachel Arnold Sager crashed into the South Pole in May of 1981. Raised by wild penguins and escorted to civilization by a tusking of narwhals, she began her journey North in search of purpose and ultimate happiness. It was a perilous adventure – man-eating apes, the “lost” city of Atlantis (jerks), a time machine/WWII scenario, earthquakes sent by Vulcan (that guy, geeze) and a fire breathing kitty named Pebbles.
She finally satisfied her quest by settling in the grand city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she lives a quieter, although sometimes still dramatic, existence as a designer and illustrator. A card carrying member of Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators, she believes that Art, whatever the medium, is a story and should stir something inside the onlooker – and a giggle counts.
