Was a busy weekend decorating the house, setting up the xmas tree and working here.  Wanted to take as much time AWAY from the studio as I reasonably could with a deadline only 2 weeks away here.  Still a few things on my mind this morning as I prepare for another LOOOONNNNGGG day in the studio here. First off, I didn't get a chance ...

busy week, busy MONTH coming up here.  here's what I've got brewing inside my head this morning. The new Cure album, 4:13 Dream, might be my favorite album in the last few years.  It might be the best Cure album since Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me or Wish actually.  Which is saying a lot because I'm a huge music fan, and ...

at least that’s what it’s felt like here the last few months. we’ve been so busy and in a lot of ways so stressed, that it’s felt like we’ve been buzzing around inside a huge bee hive trying to keep up with all the other worker bees and keep making enough honey to keep the hive going. Maybe a terrible ...

Con-X-TremeI’ve spend the last few days avoiding writing about the con since I don’t usually like to speak ill of anyone, but I can’t just let other’s fall into this trap if the con is still around next year. I’ve never seen a more mismanaged travesty than what took place at Con-X-Treme and I’ve been in student ...

Back from vacation. It feels a little weird to be back and the weather is so much cooler here. In the coming days I will upload my trip photos to my photobucket and the videos to somewhere. I’ll also be updating my site with new artwork so keep on checking back. Here’s a day by day vacation recap:Day 1: We drove down to Palmdale where ...

Sorry I didn’t update yesterday by the time I got back from checking the proofs for my promo materials for the SCBWI LA conference my mom called to remind me about their BBQ (my mom’s sister, my uncle and my cousin and her friend were staying the night on their way back down to Palmdale) and I didn’t realize somehow till I was ...

I don’t have a new piece of art this week other than the watercolor I did at faire this past weekend for my friend Amy’s Birthday. I do however have a whole new site up! There weren’t really any problems with the old one (other than its small size) but this one fits my current art direction focus (children’s books) better. ...

I have finished all the illustrations for the site and am currently constructing the new KatGirl Studio site in flash. When it’s near completion I’ll post a link so you can beta test the site before it replaces the current site. The current site will still be available for viewing purposes since I have the space. Aside from that I am ...

the portfolio site has been updated with the start of the new direction that I’m planning on heading in here in the studio. New colors, simpler (I hope) navigation, and a soon to be expanding digital painting section being featured. The first of my new canvas prints is scheduled to arrive today via Fed Ex, so I’m eagerly ...

Hello all, well this is my first time posting in the forums so it's nice to meet everyone! I will appreciate any comment or critique you can give even if it is small! I'm creating a phoenix for a poster contest for a scholarship, and I'm trying to make the phoenix look like the spirit of art, with the thought that art causes things to ...
