Within the theme of valentines

Also, I found this photobooth picture of my grandma and grandpa

Chloe

My cousin Tara has the most adorable cat named Chloe.
Chloe loves to take showers and drink water from the faucet.

Blow your friends...

Oh gross!
No, not like that, you sick minded person!

More like this!

Watercolour book

I got a new awesome handmade watercolour book from India.
(OoOo... It sounds fancy when you say it's from India)
Really haven't had much experience with watercolours, but I'd like to.
This isn't that great of a painting, but it was my first one in the book.
I need to get a scanner,
but at least I now can take some nice pics of my artworkings.
I've always been jealous of those who could take nice
photos of their crafts, drawings, and or paintings.
Well now it's my turn!

I really got to make me a website.

Oh, and.. would love to have more to show, but I've been incredibly busy with projects.
I'll eventually get around to some personal artwork I can post.
No fears!

I <3 Cooking

I should stop taking pictures of my food, but it's surprisingly really fun.
Everyone in the world should own a kitchen aid.
I made falafels for the first time, and planned on taking pictures...
however, no sooner did I finish making them
and my parents gobbled them up.

I went the whole 9 yards and made Tahini sauce, Tatziki sauce,
got the sumac seasoning, got middle eastern the pickled turnips, and made homemade pita bread.
The recipe I used was from Saveur magazine, the best food magazine around ( http://www.saveur.com/article/Food/Felafel ).
Made me feel like I was back on Westwood, sniff...sniff...


I plan on making some kickass wontons next.

Rocker

Full Moon

I thought since it's so light outside tonight, that i'd test out my canon.

Cheesy Pictuar

She looks like the leader of some cult...

Ive been ill for the past week, but ive been in bed surfing with my ipod touch.
I have a vitamin deficiency, i dont like it when people go into detail about their health issues..
so i'll spare you all.

Not to mention i received a busted lip, its healing...

I feel like I've fallen apart!

Anyway I am bored and dropped old artwork and snapshots into the Poladriod.
Go to poladriod.net, and download the app yourself.
I can photoshop images myself, but it does a good job.
Oh & self photoshopped a couple fake TTVs

Digital Painting

I decided to take a break and try some digital painting.
I really ought to be painting everyday.

Birch Tree

Todays events included...

• getting stuck in an elevator (not fun)
• making a birch tree pillow out of flannel (fun)


(Side Note: I will be painting the trim on my walls)

Today was warm... well, warm for Michigan

50 degrees outside, intense fog.
I want to do an ink painting of this picture, it'll be awesome.


---------------------------------------------------------

I got a Canon Rebel XS, it's lovely.
Which means, many many pictures

First of some cookies I'm going to be selling to shops around TC.
Note: These are the first batch made in Michigan ever, with that said... they didn't turn out the same as the California batches.
I blame being too tired and skipping the all important step of making sure the butter is soft before mixing.

Still tasted mighty good, but next batch will be much much prettier.

---------------------------------------------------------

My dog Zebadiah could smell the cookies I was taking pictures of,
and decided to hang out/snooze on my bed.





Here he is snoozing on my sisters bed.


What can I say, the dog likes to sleep.

--------------------------------------

Three cheers for my weird paper cutouts!
I wouldn't laugh at my paper cutout illustrations.
They do have feelings, and they do give paper cuts.

I learned the hard way...

Happy Holidays

I'm typing this from my new iPod touch. I'm officially up to speed with todays technology. I also made some powerful eggnog! My studio is now setup, so you'll be seeing more artwork shortly... I'm preparing for events like comicon, hurray!

My Room

I've spent the past few weeks getting rid of clutter.
I still have the downstairs to tackle, but I've made a good dent upstairs.

I needed a room change...
The old room had turqouise walls with a white illustrated bamboo forrest.
I got the idea in my head when i was 17, had to do it.
Not really into that now, resulting in a room change.

I have wood floors in my room, which i love.
I decided to go simplistic and vintage meets the woods.
If that makes any sense?

Sweat, blood and tears went into painting the walls a extremely light grey/blue color called "coastal fog".
Which turns out white in these pictures, which is why i had to tell you otherwise.

I still want a different dresser, but it's what we had in the house.
However, I did get the chair & a wonderful headboard (that you can't see in the pic) for 20 bucks total.
Thanks to the super cheap awesome thrift stores in Northern Michigan.

Anyway, I present to you... my room.





I Decided to make a couple simple art pieces for the walls, and frame a few leaves my mom collected this fall.
She loves collecting leaves, I don't know why.



Oh yes, and I'm very proud of my bedside table.
I got it for 10 bucks at the GW.
At the time it was painted black & had a rust problem.
So I cleaned it off, annihilated the rust, primed and painted.
I <3 projects!
I think I'm going to paint that mirror white too.

Gwen Frostic (poet, printer, & illustrator)

Gwen setup her studios in the small town of Benzie, close to where I live.
Her wood-block printing is what really made her famous.

Benzie is really into the wood printing, so I checked to see if there were any classes.
Apparently there's an apprentice position open at a company from there.

I'm going to apply for it, because it's such a rad way of printing.
If I were to get the position I'd get free stay in a cabin by the river.

I have to learn how to wood print, it's too cool to pass up.

Happy Thanksgiving

I made it to Michigan last night, it was an interesting drive.
My goal was to make it as fast as I could to Chicago...
which resulted in a one day non-stop drive from Texas to Illinois.

Oklahoma was the most depressing state I've ever been to.
Nothing going on, and (I stress) very ugly.

So I made it to Chicago yesterday and spent the day there.
Went shopping at Belmont (silverlake of Chicago), brought back good memories.
I wouldn't doubt it if I ended up there in a few months,
It's not too far of a drive (4 to 5 hours).

For now I get to finish up and send out my art pieces for the Los Angeles show.

Eat some Turkey, and help my parents clean out the paper mess they've accumulated.

Farewell Los Angeles

I've packed up only what can fit into my trunk.

I'm not into hanging onto things...
I figure Items aren't memories,
so no reason to keep anything more then the essentials.

Tomorrow is Phoenix

For now,
I will spend one last evening watching a movie in my room.

Go Kit Kraft!

Michigan

I'm moving back home to Michigan in a week.
Packing isn't fun, but i'll be back.
Maybe...

I'm worried.

Or else i'll move to NYC.
A lot of people have told me that I seem more
east coast.

ZoooOoooOom!!

Zooming around space


Spinning on a planet, yes she's gianormous


This concludes PS sketching Space Cadet with my beloved tablet.

Beehive Boutique

I just needed more fake logos, so i made this really quickly...

Am Not R2, colored!

I needed a new desktop, everyones encouraged to do the same.

Once Upon a Time art show, SUPPORT ME

This is history in the making, I will be having my very first art show.
*tears* Seems like it was only yesterday that I picked up a paintbrush,
because it was only yesterday that I picked up a paintbrush.
Though I'm really good with drawing and mixing colors so i'll be okay.
I will be signing autographs, I will be paying people to ask me for autographs.
I'm now apart of the elite, I feel very grateful.

The lineup for the show is amazing, so you simply have to come!
Like all art shows there's free alcoholic drinks, or I assume so.
Free alcohol = you being tricked into thinking my painting is worth 200 bucks, so drink up!

DO IT!

Seriously though (being serious now)... Extremely talented lineup,
so do yourself a favor and head to the show.

Ron Paul talks about Obama

I've never liked a politician quite like Ron Paul, contrary to most...
he speaks the truth.
(also noting that he's not supporting McCain)







Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are


If you want to find out who someone is you look at their actions,
not their words.
Obama is all talk, there is no change.

Obama, McCain, Bush....
have the same core docket

Todays jumble

Twas a bad day.
Looking on the bright side of things, I decided to move forward.
Wasn't entirely mature about it, I had my sad moment for an hour.
Though after that I grabbed a coffee, did some laundry,
and went fourth.
Salvaged the day as much as possible, updated more logo versions.
Oh and the 16th marks Animal Crossing for the Wii!
I got something to look forward to after I beat Fable,
taking my sweet time doing so.

new direction rough thumbnail (needs fine tuning)


I'm thinking change the Kali Meadows font to something more legible...
something that works more as a smaller read, not a header font.

Versus old direction

Experimentation with Flash

it's short.. but i learned.

Bird Illustration

there's something I love about this little illustration
that I created awhile ago.

logo update

Here's another version


It all started with this,

The Election & Halloween

Finished the flyer,
it's good.
I would have liked more time, I might have been able to produce something quite amazing.
Though this is cute, and I got it done.



----------------------------
The Election

I'll be voting for Bob Barr,
key reasons being,

• Wants to end the war
• Eliminate the Federal Reserve
• Eliminate the Dept of Education
• Significantly Reduce & eventually eliminate the Income tax
• Stop illegal immigration
• Pro Free Market
• Anti Big Government
• Anti Wiretapping
• Eliminate secret prisons
• Mustache & Pedo-esque

A good amount of issues that I can stand behind.

The rest of you can vote for your loving
Obama with his big socialistic government & wiretapping ways.

I can't vote for someone I don't really stand behind, due to fear of McCain.
I think it's time we educate ourselves as a nation.
Really delve into issues and not just vote by the tube.
Our problem is, the all power television.

----------------------
Oh and as far as Halloween goes.
Why do chicks slut up costumes?

Even girls who you think are normal,
show their true retarded colors come Halloween.
I will chuck a pumpkin at each and every slutified (if that were a word) costume.
sexy ghostbusters watch out, a pumpkin to your head!

Scary Hairy Egg Head Alien Creature

Hahaha, he's my little nightmare.
In rim lighting kicking ass.

Oh, and vote for my threadless design.
Give it a 5 even if you don't like dig the text.
Else egg head will haunt your dreams.

Halloween Flyer Rough

Working on some hip DJs halloween party flyer...
without further ado, I give you the rough illustration.

I call it... Frankenstein DJing and out pops a ghost with his bitches.
I ought to give both the girls some massive tits.

I don't have all the info, and so the text isnt laid out correctly...
I'll do that after I've finished my 30 min Fable break.

Boredom

brings painted on shoes, and framing art from childrens books.
