I told her she could have hands but only if she behaved. (Coming along slowly.)
Did the sketch for this about a year ago. Nice to see her in colour.

Interchangeable Magnetic Rings
02/24/2009
Well.. I was making some magnets out of left over marbles, and one decided to suck itself onto a ring base I had lying near by. DING DING! Idea time. 
Available in my Etsy shop.
I’m probably going to do a few more sets, some art, some photography. Maybe some hand painted ones as well. Who knows.

A few days ago I made a big run of pendants. It was nice to get so many done in such a (relatively) short amount of time. It’ll definitely save me time later.
I also started a new painting yesterday, but it’s still top secret. Otherwise known as I haven’t uploaded any progress photos yet.
And now if you’ll excuse me, my husband is taking me to IHOP for our anniversary. Yes, I really am that easy to please.

Kristen’s Portrait
03/22/2008
This is the latest in my series of small portraits. It’s approximately 8.5″ x 11″ – mixed media on hardboard.
If you’re interested in modeling for this series make sure you get in touch with me! You don’t have to be a professional model and I welcome all shapes and sizes.
Kristen paints some pretty great stuff herself. You should swing by her website and take a look.
She also posted a video up on YouTube when she received her portrait in the mail. Check it out below:
Artist Statements
02/21/2008
Always a torturous but satisfying writing affair. The nice thing about them is that during the process of examining my work for the purpose of writing a statement, my focus is re-sharpened and my creativity stoked. I gain new perspectives but also remember the ones that were getting a bit lost or diluted.
”Writing is easy. All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until the drops of blood form on your forehead.”
- Gene Fowler
In other news, the husband-creature is currently installing french doors in the new studio area. It’s a better space than the old studio, but the lack of doors is frustrating. He promises the cats will no longer be breaking things by the end of today.
New Painting – Constricted
02/13/2008
Got around to photographing this painting today. It’s part of the Morphology series. It’s a 12″ x 12″ canvas. Mixed media (collage, oils.) I have a few more from the series in progress. A suspension worm-girl among them. She’ll probably be finished before the rest.
I stretched a 38″ x 30″ canvas today so I hope to get started on that soon as well. Most likely it will be part of the series.
I can feel ideas churning in my gut, so by tomorrow I should have a finished preliminary drawing and be able to start on the base collage.
Basically I just hope to get some sleep tonight. I like the creative energy and everything, but it tends to keep me awake if I don’t submit to its will immediately. You know in Audition when the woman pokes the needles into the guy’s eyes? It’s something like that.
Enter your email address and I will keep you up to date on new projects, videos, and art shows. I promise I will never share your info with anyone!
