Blog Revamping and Twilight Fanart

One of the myiad of things I need to do since attending the MIC is revamping both my blog and website. The header on this blog has always bothered me because it's a photo instead of a drawing. So here's my rough sketch of the new twirling dragon. I think I'm going to put an aviator scarf on him as well.

I've also realized that though fanart has provided a wonderful outlet for me, I need to stop. One: other than giving me a chance to practice sketching and portrait work, it really doesn't further my goals. Two: (this is the biggest reason) It keeps getting stolen...at least the Twilight fanart. I'm sick and tired of finding my fanart posted on Deviant art or some other site without my permission and another person claiming it as their own. It's such a hazzle to report and get them removed and frankly, emailing these people who are breaking copyright laws gets a tad messy and mean. I truly appreciate all the good people out there who have my back and let me know when they see my stuff where it should not be. But it just isn't worth it. Someday, I hope to have a place where I can put my Twlight fanart but for now, it's been pulled off this blog and the other websites.

Misleading Men and New Home for Dragon



I celebrated my birthday on Valentine's Day. My husband and neighbor, Jim, have been in cahoots all week about something. When Jim came over and asked if he could borrow my dragon weathervane to show a friend, I knew something was up. Well, yesterday, we celebrated as a family and when asked to come outside, there was this beautiful cupola with my twirling dragon on top. My husband had contracted Jim to make it. After the snow melts a bit, we'll get it back on the roof where he belongs. Isn't he awesome! (That husband isn't too bad either).

Welcome to my studio

This is where I will be posting my art projects, assignments, commissions and random, inconsequential ramblings. My studio is actually located in the formal dining room of my house. Outside, on the rooftop of the dining room is my dragon weathervane. When the wind blows, he squeaks and twirls around and the sound is a comfort as I work away at my drafting table. Inside, above the entrance to my art room, is a sly dragon, designed by my daughter Erinne, that says, "Kim's World". Grandchildren: Beware!

You can also see my two Spidey friends that help me when I have a question with anatomy. They are articulated in 64 places. The hands are the best! One reminds me to get to work while the other one tells me to stay calm.
