Hey, I've missed you, too

But summer is that season where every bit of free time is spent soaking up sun and accruing bug bites. Sadly, this summer's been shortcoming with the former and generous with the latter. My tomatoes would agree. A few new illustrations posted.

Hard Drive's Night
961 days ago · Sarah Lazarovic
Do your hard drives crash on you, too? I've tried every brand, size, spec. I've coddled and cared for my drives with the attention one might lavish on a first born, and still, invariably, they die on me at moment's most precarious with unseeming regularity. Just a rant.In other news, more coverage for our short on City News.
In other other news, I'm terribly behind in putting up illustration and video work, but here's a recent Post illo, done in a new style that I'm working out as I go.

New style for a new gig - illustrating a weekly fiction serial by the lovely Mireille Silcoff. Wanted to keep things simple and elegant but didn't have as much time to play with styles as I'd have liked, this week being hellishly busy. Hope to push things further for next week.

Been doing these National Post Toronto quizzes for a few months, but just fell behind in the uploading. I like doing quizzes because you have an actual relationship with readers. Sometimes we get tons of answers, sometimes just a handful. I'm constantly playing around with difficulty level, hints, etc...

Long Story Short End

Illustrating a bunch of excerpts of books nominated for the Toronto Book Awards I found myself absolutely smitten with a short story written by Elyse Friedman. So much so that I have to run out to get her book to find out what's going to happen.

Missed Connections, Montreal Confections
1420 days ago · Sarah Lazarovic
• Back from Montreal, having consumed too much raw milk cheese to feel entirely awake on this Monday morning. We saw this show at the MACM (yes, I've rhapsodized about Yannick Pouliot before) and, while I couldn't quite get into Farmer and Maggs, Pouliot did not disappoint. Here's a photo from the show -
• What else do I recommend? Not art but verging upon it.
• And here's a missed connection that I did for Saturday's Toronto section of the National Post.

• Here's a detail from an illustration I did for a story on how Canadians doth protest too much.
• And here's my meditation on sartorial restraint.
• This six-word memoir stuff is everywhere now. Fun, but could you read a whole book of them?

August!
I'm sorry. I've been away, dear portfolio section. If the work is not archived on your lovely pages, does it cease to exist? Let's hope not. For now, Here's Ms. Merkel, a recent piece for The National.
December!
Hey! I'm in some shows -
Krampusnacht
and Graphic Details. You should come to them. They will be fun. Happy Holidays!
Fall Preview
Happy August! Busy summer has precluded me from updating. Herewith, a cursory rundown of what's going on:

Recent work
Other Projects
Portrait Project
I'll be doing one portrait a day until I can't do one portrait a day anymore. Not allowed to spend more than an hour on each one.
Long Live Irony
This is my catch-all site - art projects, journalism, weird experiments, all founded in the general belief that irony is not dead, regardless of what Graydon Carter says.
A joint blog where me and the Mr. post our thoughts on fashion and design, and I chronicle my year of not shopping. (I've cheated once.)
The Portrait Gallery
The government has been all kinds of annoying when it comes to creating a respectable National Portrait Gallery of Canada. So we built one in our garage this summer!
