Sadie Levine is an enchanted girl with magic powers and a completely firm grip on reality. She is normal in the brain and heart, and is definitely not even a little bit scared of butterflies. Sometimes she draws things.
For the past three years, Sadie has maintained a freelance practice while self-publishing zines and experimental artists' books. Her comic "Young Love" was published by Crucial Comix, and her zine “Good Grief” received a MICE Mini-Grant and was shortlisted for the CCS Cartoonist Studio Prize.
Sadie is currently available for freelance work. Please get in touch using the form under “contact”.
