MEET THE ARTIST
Sarah "Arlo" Karleskint
Los Angeles based storyboarder and character designer from Oklahoma.
Before I had the motor control to even hold a pencil I would make my mom, who is not an artist, draw and color for hours so I could watch her. It was better than Barney! Since then, I have remained fixated on art. I'm a mostly self taught artist that has learned to draw, design, and animate through trial and error and many years of practice. I love to draw, watch cartoons and learn.
My career goal is to make work on pre-production art and story for children's animated TV shows.
