Sas is often referred to in conjunction with her husband and fellow artist, Colin Christian (who I will do a post on a bit later). Sas + Colin are an electric duo in the contemporary art scene. Their art shares many similarities, with related themes running through it, but also differs quite dramatically. Below is a sample of Sas’ work.

I’m not much of a fan of the Saw series (okay, a little bit), but this is an awesome promotional poster for their annual Halloween blood drive this year!
