Hi, I'm Kristen!

@Valerie-Light Thanks Valerie! That scenic artist job sounds wonderful too! I'm so sorry that the pandemic took that from you. But allow me to say, your professionalism as an artist shows in your illustration work. So happy to get to know you and others navigating the illustration world. I can already tell SVS is great for that

@demotlj Aw I'm sorry, I really liked seeing your work. Absolutely, I'd love to be part of that thread!

@demotlj said in Hi, I'm Kristen!:
@Kristen-Lango we'll have to start a nature journal thread to share our mutual love of birds.
Count me in on that!!!

@Kristen-Lango I live in Virginia not far from you it would seem. I live about 20 minutes south of DC. I'm a Virginia born and raised but I do come from the western mountain range.

@randarrington That's awesome! You should try to make it to our sketch meet up next weekend in Alexandria, my group from SCBWI planned it.
-
@Kristen-Lango There's a SCBWI group in the area? I never knew. I'd love to be able to come to a sketch group, I haven't done that in years, but I'm not sure it's not really possible. My wife had a brain tumor about 8 years ago and at this point she's not super mobile so I don't like leaving her alone for extended periods of time. I'm not sure that the children's book crowd would really appreciate my style but it would be really cool to be able to spend time with other creatives.
-
@randarrington It took me a while to find them haha, and some are as close to DC as Falls Church and others are out in Richmond or farther, but we meet up online each month! Would you like me to ask the group to add you? I'm so sorry to hear about your wife, I can't imagine what you must go through. You're certainly welcome in Alexandria! Shoot me an email if you want to talk more! studioklango@gmail.com

@Kristen-Lango You know this introduction is a masterclass in presentation. I so wanted to copy this! Instead I did a boring introduction! But since I posted I have added a small drawing and revamped the title. Ha ha.
-
@Kristen-Lango Yeah I think I would like you to ask them to add me to the group. I'm still not sure my style fits kids books...but I guess you never know :D. Thank you so much.
-
@PenAndrew Aw! That is so sweet of you to say!
Thank you! I definitely can't take all the credit though haha, I got the idea to make some intro illustrations after listening to the creative peptalk podcast
