Appreciating Sara Richard

Late last year, artist, illustrator Sara Richard once again granted me an interview. That interview is at Talking Travel with Sara Richard on Global Traveler.
I don't remember exactly when or where I first met Sara. It was probably either at Motor City Comic Con or one of the comic cons in Chicago and probably around 2010. Either way, Sara is one of the first artists I ever followed, covered and befriended. I probably have more interviews and pictures with Sara than any other creator I have covered. One reason is because she is just that good. Another is she is very engaging and nice.
Sra has been so gracious in giving me her time in interviews at conventions and via Zoom. She even indulged me and allowed my young cousin (aka my Johngy's Beat intern) to interview her. She could very easily have declined any or all of my requests, but she doesn't. 
She s so talented, too. She has contributed her artwork to several books, trading cards and more. She also has done commissions, like the Johngy's Beat variation shirt she designed.
I cannot speak highly enough of her work or just her as a person. She is simply the best.
Go to sararichard.com to learn a bit more and to see some of her brilliant work. You can also watch all of my interviews with her on the Johngy's Beat YouTube channel.
