Friend Encounters: Sorah Suhng and Sara Richard

Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring friends who meet celebrities.

Today's feature is very artistic. Excuse my bad joke, but it features two talented artists in Sara Richard and Sorah Suhng.

I have written many times about Sara. A longtime favorite of mine, she was one of the first artists I ever met and interviewed. Many times of both and 10+ years since, I am still bugging her. Her art is amazing and she truly is one of the coolest people I know. She is also gaining even more success and popularity. Now with several books (written and/or illustrated), she is busier than ever.

I met Sorah years ago and appreciate her work as well. The owner and creator of character Karnal Sin, Sorah has been carving her path in the world of comics since 2007. While her work reminds me a bit of Sara's, she has her own unique style. Both create fantastic art.

I love when my favorites take pictures with other celebrities. It shows they are human, too. they like taking pictures with their favorites, too.

Sorah Suhng at C2E2 2017

The Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) has been postponed until December 2021. I'll be back "On the Beat" there, but for now I am recalling some of the fun over previous years there.
Sorah Suhng has been a comic book artist since 2007. She has worked for Variant Comics, Marvel Comics and Image Comics.
In addition to all of her work for others, Sorah is the owner and creator of Karnal Sin. This is really a work of love for Sorah. She describes it as a love story featuring a villain instead of a hero. It follows her adventures in a futuristic world. The tag line is "When bad meets worse." The villain might be bad, but the story and especially the art is great!

I first met Sorah a few years ago at C2E2 and I marveled at her awesome art. She is now primarily  a penciller and illustrator. She has done commissions, but is not offering them right now.
Go to C2E2.com for more info and follow C2E2 on Facebook for more frequent updates. Also go to SorahSuhng.com for more info on this talented artist.
