Inkymole, aka Sarah J Coleman, arrived at a full-time career in illustration and typography via extra time served in the bizarre and magical worlds of pirate radio, lecturing, youth work, theatre and local newspapers. Now into her second decade of creating words and pictures for an international client base, she has held solo exhibitions in London, Leeds, Birmingham, Manhattan and Rhode Island.


Based in the Midlands, Sarah cut her teeth at the Royal Shakespeare Company, using the small dark hours to catch up on mounting illustration briefs. Inspired by the penmanship of a more elegant era and with a muscular, if pedantic, grasp of the English language, she has wrapped her perma-stained fingers around words and pictures for advertising, identities, packaging, record sleeves and a trillion book covers.

Her touring show 'If A Girl Writes Off The World', inspired by the words of spoken word poet/Sage Francis, opened at the Truman Brewery, London and toured to Chelsea, NYC and Rhode Island in 2007.

'Nibs and ink are my thing. I draw on paper and ink-heavy, word-soaked imagery is my trademark. Though I creep into fashion and beauty, the worlds of advertising, fiction, packaging and music are where my work seems to fit most snugly. If 'snug' is the right word...'

Sarah is represented in the USA by Bernstein and Andriulli of New York.
