I know what you’re thinking: yet another feature about a tattooed model. And if you are, you’re only half right. Sara Blake, AKA ‘ZSO’(pronounced |zō|), allows for a feature duplex as an illustrator and model. Upon visiting her website, you’ll find pictures of her from shoots with various photographers, which she occasionally refers to as ‘collaborations’, as well as images of her work as an illustrator. Sara’s talent is undeniable. In 2009 she was featured in the Curvy Book compilation as one of the world’s 120 “most exciting female graphic designers and illustrators. Graduating from NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, specializing in graphic art and postmodern studies, I would definitely call her an artist first. Watch this video of her in action, and do visit her website to view more of her amazing work.
