First of all, since my budget is tight, if not non-existent, I decided to make my website myself.  And since I’m lazy sometimes and didn’t feel like figuring out how to do it, I used Weebly!  Pretty cool actually.  It works for me.  Haven’t really added much to the site yet, but take a look if you want.  Bookmark it maybe.  www.katiealberry.com

In other news, I slaved away over a lino cut today and made some new prints.  Hand carved, hand printed.  Still working out the pressure issues with the hand press, but I got a few decent ones for now.  I’ll be selling them soon hopefully.

Isn’t it pretty?

Finally updated my shop on etsy after all these years!  krazykatie.etsy.com I only have one digital print listed right now, but I’ll be adding more in the coming weeks, so be sure to check it out.  Plenty of things to blog about, but I have a cold again.  Laying low for the next couple of days.  That’s the plan at least.  I’ll leave you with a random picture though, since pictures are fun.

This is from my second semester as a New Media major.  Urban Safari Photoshop Midterm.

Finished the flier designs for my friends show, and I’m relatively satisfied with them.  I’d love to spend a little more time, but I’m off to support my deejay friends at their premier event tonight called Intervention.  Here’s to hoping they’re not upset that I’m only staying an hour or so.  Sick, in need of more rest, and an extremely long day tomorrow.  I have to be in good spirits for Opera at the Ball Park.  If you’ve never been to Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory, I urge you to use this art installation as a reason to do so.  I will leave you with these two photos of the designs.

Today I went to a new chiropractor. I’ll spare you the details.  I was in such a good mood after I decided to go to Walgreens.  I bought shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, shaving gel, foot insoles for my shoes, and corn remover pads.  I felt good.  Despite being sick.

Then I spent a couple hours at the Voice Factory helping a friend with her installation.  I became the official designer of the flyers that should have been designed sooner, but it’s okay.  I will now show you my sketches, and give you an idea of my night.

I will spend a decent portion of my day tomorrow drawing, painting and inking this.

This stuff is so gross I don’t even want to rotate the picture.

These are my ugly dolls, I’m going to crawl into bed with them now.

Couldn’t find paper or a sketchbook one night in a fit of distress, so I tore off a piece of a box.  A piece of art was born.  It’s not entirely finished yet, but here is a photo of my cardboard illustration and a blurry photo of my super tiny super messy workspace.

This was originally a sketch I did while on break at work.  Tonight I decided to re-draw it, ink it, and paint it!  Pretty happy with the finished result.  I know I said I was only going to use this site for random sketches and thoughts, but my other site isn’t up yet.  I’ll just leave this here for now.  I guess I forgot to sign it before scanning.  What’s new? No stealing.  I’ll find you.
