My name is Sarah Carney, and I am an artist and writer dedicated to the craft of storytelling. Currently, I am pursuing an MFA in Visual Narrative from SVA. I am open to collaboration and work in props, graphic design, and writing. I am particularly interested in comedy and the ways laughter and story can connect us on a deep level.

Below are some featured projects. Click on my portfolio tab for visual projects and writing tab for written works and videos.

Gregor likes to keep his bodega orderly. Right now, his peaceful routine is being threatened by the spirit of a cat who’s destroying the merchandise, driving customers away, and testing his patience. But maybe–just maybe–if he learns to open up a little, he’ll find that a little nonsense is worth it for a new friend.

At a town fair, a greedy, charismatic salesman named Miles sells sheep oil from his mobile cart. He targets customers with various conditions and lies about the oil’s effectiveness, changing the label on the bottle to market to each customer. As greed overcomes him, he invokes the ire of the misled townsfolk, and a mysterious obelisk in town lights up. Each lie drags him down to a new level of wickedness.

What is LumpyTelevision?

LumpyTelevision is a brand created by Sarah Carney to represent a vision of high quality and silly entertainment. The television represents the chosen medium of Film/TV, and the lumpiness evokes a quality of being a bit "off" from the norm.

While LumpyTelevision was initially designed to be an brand for comedic animated shorts, it has since become a catch-all for the creative work of artist and writer, Sarah Carney.
