“Organized chaos” is how Austin, Texas, based artist Sophie Roach describes her style. She started to sketch because of the “stress and boredom of college,” but it was only in 2012, two years after she began that, Roach’s art began to take off.
“I didn’t realize it would be possible to make a living with my doodles until about two years ago” Roach told Chipper Things. “Since then I’ve drawn on so many different objects from cars, to guitars, to skateboards, to surfboards, to soccer balls, to (so many) shoes. I took on my first mural projects earlier this year and I’m totally obsessed now.”
Roach loves making lists and doing things efficiently, which might explain her success. Her clients include Nike, Converse, Vans and Urban Outfitters, and she has published a zine.

Share on FacebookPicture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone
This person must be the next person to design the most fantastic fabrics ever!
I can imagine fun T-shirt dresses, summer shorts, etc....
Load More Replies...Her work is inspiring - I agree that it's reminiscent of the Beatles and of Peter Max. One wee correction - Sophie Roach is from Austin, with an 'i', not an 'e'.
It takes me back directly to my late teenage years! So psychedelic! And fascinating, of course! Nopa Apartment: you summed it up perfectly!
The new Peter Max, Heinz Elelman? Bring back the 60s. I thought when I saw this art, "derivative," but I liked Yellow Submarine, so, so what?
