She has found her way, after being a little adrift, she says as honestly as possible. Despite the difficulty of these bad times, she is no longer concerned about not knowing where to go. What makes her think that way is the acknowledgment of the people who follows her, and she finds inspiration to fiction-film sequences, fragments of novels, attempting to link them with her life, her lovers,...

The illustrations, by Sara Herranz, are of clean and simple lines are accompanied of "micro-stories" which excel for subtlety which with she make up the few thirty words that contains them. Her work is poignant and terribly honest. All to capture daily scenes scenes in which homesickness, irony, love and heartbreak are always present.

She has a predilection for female bodies, for classic film heroines as Lauren Bacal or Louise Brooks. The style and eroticism of Guido Crepax comics she loves, too. As for the texts, maybe she draws from some Bukowski or Carver's short stories.

More information

Sara Herranz nacida en Tenerife y Licenciada en Comunicación Audiovisual, tras una crisis de identidad decidió plantearse más en serio su afición y comenzó a dibujar. Así es como nace su blog, un pequeño diario muy personal que comienza a tener éxito casi de golpe. Del éxito online de su trabajo personal surgen sus primeros proyectos offline, con colaboraciones y encargos, entre los que destaca la ilustración de portada de "Un Buen Chico", de Javier Gutiérrez, para "Mondadori-Random House".

Dicen de ella que logra retratar a las mujeres en cada una de sus ilustraciones. Que se sienten identificadas. Quizás no ahora, a lo mejor, ayer o el año pasado. Pero ahí están, siempre. Mostradas al desnudo. Le gustaría pensar que es así, que lo que un día nació en su blog para superar una mala etapa se ha convertido hoy en una profesión maravillosa que le hace sonreír.
