7 Years of Deviousness

Journal Entry: Sat Apr 21, 2012, 7:59 PM
Commission Information | My Online Store

So yesterday was my 7-year anniversary on dA! Yays! :party:

Went to a Pet Expo at the Orange County fairgrounds in Costa Mesa and OH DANG I was in animal heaven! I got to see my 4 favourite dog breeds and finally add a 5th!
1st: Doberman Pinscher
2nd: Irish Wolfhound
3rd: Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Ken got me into these shorties!)
4th: Borzoi/Russian Wolfhound
5th: Beauceron
Lots of Great Danes, Greyhounds, and German Shepherds too (plus all the tiny, fluffy, purse puppies.) I think the last time I saw so many breeds all in the same area was the last time I was in San Francisco. I LOVE DOGS!
Also very happy with the variety of snakes, lizards, frogs, and spiders! Found out the Pixie Frog eats rats :cries: Love rodents more than reptiles so I can't own anything that must eat rodents (did see some black tree monitor lizards that were drop-dead gorgeous! Like little dragons!!!)


:work::work::work::work::work::work::work::work::work::work:
I am now a contracted book illustrator (children's books right now) for an author and publishing company in the UK! :dance: Lots of work so if I thank you for a fav you added a month ago, that's why =D Lot more work with Art House Co-Op and commissions to complete. Time to get to it! :wave:

Kristen Fogarty
Artist | Professional | Traditional Art
United States
One May evening when a heat wave was grilling Southern California, a baby was born. She lived with a large air conditioner that blew air so cold she grew up to love it. She now works every day to move to a colder climate, away from sunny Southern California. Is she crazy? No. She was just born to think outside the box!

Hi! I am Kristen and the sole artist of TheArtofKris on Etsy [link] I graduated Cum Laude with a BFA in Drawing & Painting from Cal State Fullerton along with a Minor in Anthropology. I have exhibited in five juried shows thus far.

I enjoy academics and learning, especially science, as well as art and would never consider myself a right-brained person. I have been taking serious art classes since the 7th grade and now have over a decade of detail-oriented drawing and painting experience, including three and a half years of artistically depicting the human body.

My hobbies include trying new art mediums, taking long walks, photography, and doing personal research on various subjects (love going to the library). I listen to a wide variety of music but I love the 50s and 60s the most and music is always influencing my artwork.

This shop contains my favorite 2D fine art mediums and digital media. I work in Oil, Acrylic, and Watercolor/Ink Paint; Graphite, Charcoal, Colored Pencil, Pastel; and Photoshop computer painting and graphics. With these Mediums I do a wide variety of work on Stretched Canvas, Plain Canvas Fabric, Wood, Heavy Paper Board, and various Papers. I depict humans, animals, mother nature, man-made environments, fantasy, objects, and just about anything one can think of, though rarely abstract.

Examples of my work can be viewed on my Sold Items page [link] and at my online artist profile and gallery [link]

To read more about the mediums I use and how I conduct business, please go to my Shop Policy Page [link] . I love working one-on-one and making custom artwork from your photos, descriptions, and ideas and you can read the process and what you need to supply in my Alchemy Announcement [link]
