I have wanted to create a huge drawing based off this photograph since I was in high school and I’ve finally started working on it! To give you a bit of perspective, the photo is 4″ by 6″ and the drawing is going to be 23″ by 35″. Here is the progression. . . START!… [Read more…]

Well, after much needed research and conversations with some very knowledgeable friends, we are taking another whack at making leather footwear. If you recall from my previous post, “He’s Crafty, and He’s Just My Type,” my boyfriend and I made a pair of leather Caligae. We had many issues with the process and the finished… [Read more…]

Productivity is by no means my middle name and like most people, I have my productive days and my…not-so-productive days. I am in a rare form today, being much more productive than usual. Productive, productive, productive! I got up super early (5am), did yoga for about a half hour, cut out the pieces to a… [Read more…]

With the launch of my improved art and design portfolio website coming up in a few months, I’ve been taking photos of various pieces of art I want to display. However, not all of it is on paper or canvas; I also do graphic design and t-shirt logos, but those are boring if I just… [Read more…]

On a recent trip back home to New York I visited with my good friends at Crooked Brook. When I worked for them in their studio I had a menagerie of jobs [almost too many to list], but for the purpose of this post, I’ll tell you I did modeling for them. …For those of… [Read more…]

It seems like ages since I last blogged! Well, maybe not ages, but it has been about 4 months. Much too long! I’ll just have to summarize all the latest Kerrminator projects to catch you up! Gifts Galore! As much as I’d like to make all my gifts for everyone, I just don’t have the… [Read more…]

As I stated in my last post, I’m focusing my creativity on Search Engine Optimization and putting my art on the back burner. I took another step today to hopefully siphon more traffic to my site. I received an email about a website called Thumbtack.com and it interested me enough to join. The site seems… [Read more…]

I haven’t had much art to post recently and I haven’t updated my work in progress in weeks simply because I haven’t made any progress yet. I’ve been more focused on establishing my online presence…or at least planning it. I’m working on revamping my website (now that I know what the hell I’m doing) to… [Read more…]

Several months ago I contacted a poster on Craigslist that was looking for pieces of art for the group, Epica. The band was looking for artists from the cities along their tour, to create a piece of art inspired by Epica’s music. I have been thinking about ways to get my art out there, and… [Read more…]

One of the things I love about my boyfriend, Ryan, is his crafting skills. No, I don’t mean scrap-booking. His sort of crafting, or ‘projecting’ as he likes to call it, is in the form of creating garb. You might think it’s slightly feminine for a man to make his own clothes, but his response… [Read more…]

I’m on my third submission on Talenthouse.com, with my first two submissions being unsuccessful. I certainly hope I don’t suck that bad so, I think I’ll tell myself the reason for my lack of success with these ‘creative invites’ is that I have an insufficient quantity of friends that can vote for me. At any… [Read more…]
