Great work!
I love your work. Especially the child behind the mask... perfect :-)
do you sell your work?
Correction "Boy Behind the Mask"
Hey Sarah! This is Tu from Kazu's Acrylic Painting Class. I've always admired your work, but I remember being particularly awed by the Michael Jackson piece. Everytime I thought about celebrity portrait my mind always went back to that one piece by Sarah Weaver from Kazu's class!
sarah! do you post here anymore? i want to know what you're up to. anyway.. you should submit your MJ to this! http://drawger.com/index.php?what=shows&show_id=46
nice work!!
This was AMAZING! Beautiful work!!
Amazing artwork, I especially love the MJ one.
Hello, How can i contact your for an exibitibion proposal? An international grup exibition in Bucharest? THX!
amazing work! i am in love with the boy behind the mask...of course! who wouldnt be...i see that someone asked this but do you sell your work?
I have been scrounging the internet for a month looking for your "Boy behind the mask" painting. It was all over facebook a while ago. I piggy back on Paul... do you sell your work?
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING your work!! I really love all of your paintings... But as a big fan of Michael Jackson, the "Boy Behind The Mask" is my favourite! And I really do believe that portrait is a piece of art and shows a very great talent!! Thank you and I would like to speak with a person like you, it would be very interesting... beautiful work!!
In awe with your portfolio. Especially love Michael Jackson's "Boy Behind The Mask"
Also love that this was created before June 25, 2009.
Wonders if MJ himself ever got a glimpse of it...
Keep up the fabulous work.
Thank you for creating!
Amazing imagery!! I love the Michael Jackson piece so much, it's just brilliant!!
LOVE LOVE Britney's one, you see her the way I do
Hey Sarah, Congratulations!
Your work is amazing! Gorgeous!
wow that boy behind the mask I cannot stop looking at it. It is amazing beautiful and says so much. Thank you sis amazing!
WOW this is amazing!! I love them
Hi Sarah, I love your work it's so clever and visually beautiful..... I am in awe of the MJ painting.... it says more than words ever could! Thanks for sharing your gift!
But, Bill O'Reilly isn't a republican...
These are fantastic. The Britney one is gripping -- I can't stop thinking about it!
Wow! Thank you all for your interest and comments. I am blown away by all the wonderful things that have been said. Again my humble thanks and appreciation to you all!
Sarah Weaver
Your work is amazing in so many ways, Sarah - thank you for being such an inspiration. I'm not sure if you were informed, but this post was linked on ONTD - http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/43363419.html - where it currently has 289 comments.
Ignore the haters, they wouldn't know art/symbolism if you shoved it up their ass. ;)
I really like your "Boy Behind Mask" painting. Poignant comes to mind. Images that are "in your face" are turns off and your illustration of one of the great dancer/singer is just superb!
Please keep up the wonderful work. I hope you will have or perhaps already had a gallery exhibition to further your craft and reaching more audiences.

First off, I am impressed with every single one of these works.
Secondly, to the young woman saying, "But, Bill O'Reilly isn't a republican..."
I would beg to differ. I don't want to make this a political response comment blog, but what's NOT republican about him? The fact that he hates liberals passionately? Or the fact that he's a staple on Fox News?
“Boy Behind the Mask” is so strikingly sad, it almost made me weepy. Amazing work.
your work is positively amazing. i would love to do a digital display of some of your pieces at an event of mine, taking place in short order...please contact me to let me know how to get your permission!

Boy behind the mask is the new "Crying Boy"
Great work!
Someone is using your art as their profile pic. I don't mean to be a tattle, but I saw that you don't want anyone to use your art without permission. Just thought I'd let you know.
The Boy Behind the Mask piece reaally haunts me too. You are amazingly talented...That painting just speaks volumes.
These are awesome!
Thank you all so much for your gracious comments. Much appreciation and respect.
I'm glad I found out that you are the artist behind the Michael Jackson masterpiece. I have seen your painting elsewhere on the net and I had made a comment that it reminds me of Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem, "We Wear the Mask." I wasn't too sure if you were aware of the poem but that is what came to my mind immediately when I read it:
We Wear the Mask

Thank you for sharing your vision with us. I felt your painting on so many personal levels that I had to share my sentiments right here with you. Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem expresses exactly how I feel. xo
Your blog is really helps for my search and i really like it.. Thanks a lot..:)

Hey Sarah!!!I have a YT page and I just happen to run across your drawing awhile ago and added to a video!I have submitted your link because to many people have been asking me about this picture.Instead of them researching it themselves . I was up most of the night hoping to find you.I hope you don't mind me submitting your link.I added a disclaimer,just thought I'd let you know!
Have a Happy Holiday!
Thanks for letting me know! I appreciate it and thank you for sharing the link!
Hi Sarah
I hope you don't mind that I put up this painting...Joe wrote in today to tell me it was yours. I've linked to your page. If you'd rather I took it down I will but I hope our admiration for your talent is obvious.

Probably my favourite painting of Michael...
many blessings
Lorette
Thank you Loretta, You rock!!!!
Hey Sarah. I love your work, especially the icons. I'm a college student and I was wondering if I could ask you a couple questions for a project? I'd really appreciate it.
I am Spanish and not speak or write in English but using an Internet translator I hope you can understand what I need to tell. (sorry if you misunderstood)
Spectacular! acrylic on Michael is a genius, thrilling, sad, touches your heart. What impresses me most is the mask, you've captured perfectly the Michael Jackson finally, finally died exhausted, shattered ... those eyes are stunning, and lost that glazed look says it all!, the discolored skin, sad ... always looking for that child to take in hand, playing, hiding ... can not say more with an image.
Congratulations!
I registered on this Blog just to be able to say this lol :)

Thesis Pieces...."TODAYS ICONS" by Sarah Weaver <-- that's what i was looking for
Dissertation Literature Review
These are awesome. I love the one of Michael Jackson.
Amazing work Sarah. A friend posted your Micheal Jackson painting on facebook. Can honestly say I've never been moved so much by a painting. Brilliant! You stirred emotion from me for this man that I never had before. She had re-posted and didn't mention your name so I commented and told your name and left a link to this page, and re-posted myself with links here. Great work.
Hi Sarah, I enjoyed meeting both yourself and Joe at the Slabs. Thank you for selling me "The Twins". Hopefully will run across you again some day.
