Hey there!Thanks for taking a look at my portfolio site! I'm a traditionally trained artist and print designer living in Vancouver, BC. I'm finally embracing my geek side and jumping into the world of web design. You can find out more about me on my bio page. Here you'll find the latest from my digital workshop... I try to keep this page updated with some of the newer stuff I'm working on. Enjoy! Sarah Heng Hartse |

Two days in a row...2010-07-21T20:01:00.000-07:00I'm making up for lost posts here. "It is a dreary, desolate winter scene. There is a dark, stormy, wintery sky, bare trees, and brown grass and dead weeds, with patches of sow over them. On a leafless tree at one side of the picture is an empty and snow-covered nest, and on a branch near sits a little bird, and drive it to some fairer clime, but this bird is sitting there in an attitude of perfect contentment, and has its little head bravely lifted towad the sky, while a winter song is evidently about to burst forth from its tiny throat."  The original sketch was done with Prismacolor colored pencil, then scanned in and colored using a combination of Photoshop and Corel Painter Essentials 4.  Comics at work2010-07-20T21:36:00.000-07:00Yes, I get to draw comics at work. (This one is of a more technical persuasion...)  Fruit Galore2010-06-01T19:21:00.000-07:00Featured in this month's issue of This Great Society, a few of my pastels of that globed fruit we all look forward to sinking our teeth into during the warm months:  Robot tales2010-03-18T10:53:00.000-07:00Today's image: Click on the pic to read the entire tale!   fun with augmented reality2010-03-17T12:04:00.000-07:00According to those in the know, augmented reality is the future for user experience on the web. I decided to see how it works, using the company logo from MAKE Technologies (where I'm working right now). Turns out it's pretty darn cool! Click below to watch the video. This was done using Google Sketchup (a 3D rendering program) and a plugin from ARMedia (both free to try).  How does your website sound?2010-02-25T22:33:00.000-08:00Today's image: It's actually a sound... the sound generated from my website's code. Strange how waves of energy are basically the building blocks of everything we consume nowadays. Pretty cool in an incredibly geeky way!

Flash fun2009-12-11T18:33:00.000-08:00Here's a Flash proof-of-concept I did at my internship at SFU. This idea is for their English Language Center website. The background was done in Illustrator, the figures are from istock and edited in Photoshop, and the animation was done with Flash CS4 (which is a huge improvement from CS3). Watch the whole animation here!   Last day of November2009-11-30T15:21:00.000-08:00The sun unexpectedly came out today and I had a great advantage for a nice shot from the Harbour Centre, and a much needed dose of vitamin D to boot.  View from my desk2009-11-25T21:54:00.000-08:00I'm interning for three weeks at the Harbor Center (or, in Canadian English, the "Harbour Centre" - or, the "fake Space Needle" to Seattleites) with Simon Fraser University's Continuing Studies department, and I'm lucky enough to get an amazing view from my desk. Perhaps the weather will clear at some point and I can take a picture on a sunnier day.  Mmm pie.2009-11-20T21:55:00.000-08:00This was not done by me but instead by one of my favorite artists, Wayne Thiebaud, and on one of my favorite subjects: pumpkin pie.
