been one of my longest breaks from blogging all year. Things have been super busy though with school starting up again for the kids, between volleyball games for my daughter, football practice twice a week for my son, in addition to a football game, and then watching the game film with the other coaches......oh, and I have tried to actually ...

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 ...

Today is a day of change I think.  I can feel it.  All weekend I've been stewing on how broke ...

Well it's been a while, hasn't it - unfortunately my medical (mis)adventures have kept me away from my art. BUT exciting things will start happening in my blog now that I have started taking art classes!!! To start things off will be my very first Life Drawing experience ever! I will have a full report and scans of any work I do next ...

wow, I don’t know if my life is stuck in a proverbial and sort of mystical projection of a game of chutes and ladders the last 2 weeks or not, but it sure does feel like I’m on a huge game board right now, and the Universe keeps letting me climb up one of those ladders only to find myself sliding down a chute a day or two ...
