Be Creative

Hi, I’m Sara. I’m an author and illustrator based in the UK, and I make things because I can’t not make things.

My Magical Moving Pictures greeting cards start as drawings on my desk and artwork on my IPad, and end up doing something they really shouldn’t. They’re made in small, limited batches by me, using augmented reality to add just enough motion and surprise to make people check the card twice and say, “Wait… did that just move?” (It did.)

Hello, I’m Sara Newman

UK-based artist, writer, and the person responsible for a small hedgehog called Snoop Hog.

I write and illustrate original watercolour picture books, led by Snoop and his ever-uncooperative prickles. Every illustration is hand-drawn, every word is mine, and there’s no team behind this, just me, my iPad pro, and a hedgehog with big main-character energy and questionable time management.

I also create artwork and digital print files with a full commercial licence included, so other creatives and makers can build their own products from them. And I make things that move, augmented reality cards and prints that spring to life when you point your phone at them. Think the Daily Prophet from Harry Potter, only considerably more hilarious, with less villains.

Children’s books exist to entertain children. Full stop. No hidden messages, no quiet moralising, just a story a child asks for again and again until the spine cracks and the corners go soft.

That’s the goal. That’s always been the goal.
