  • CateTownsend

    CateTownsend

    I luv this sooo much Karin, you really should think about illustrating a childrens book.

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    thanx very much Cate .. one day i’d love to do something along those lines :)

  • Laurie McClave

    Laurie McClave

    Karin, really this is fantastic. love the color and texture and elephants are soo special!

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    thanx very much Laurie :)

  • CateTownsend

    CateTownsend

    Yes your’e so talented, you would make a perfect illustrator especially with the bright colours and designs great for kids. I would love to illustrate kid’s books too but that’s a long way off for me baby steps…

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    Dear Cate, the hardest thing is going thru the right channels and knowing the right people! Most book companies already have their own group of artist/illustrators to do the art….it’s so hard to try and get noticed if you haven’t come up through the correct channels….being untrained, this is always a major hiccup for me….whenever i try i quickly get exhausted and just go back to painting….self promotion is so hard :) i really hate that part of things :(

  • CateTownsend

    CateTownsend

    Maybe just maybe you could write the books too and I’ll promote them lol

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    yes! it’s a great idea…i know someone here who writes and illustrates and has their own little publishing company….so it can be done….a lotta blood sweat and tears tho…lol :)

  • Steven Novak

    Steven Novak

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your pattern work is astonishing. (Though I think this is the first time I’ve used the word astonishing) ;)

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    thanx Steven :)
    i thought it was just v simple and wasn’t even going to upload it,
    i had always been a bit embarrassed about it…bt glad to hear you think it’s good….i love patterning, it must show :)

    Ah Karin – I am so hoping to be doing work like this one day. All I can say is this is STUNNING. I love your fun figuratives too, but this has a sense of sophistication right out of the box. It’s wonderful.

  • MARTISTIC

    This is lovely Karin. It looks like you had lots of fun painting him. There is usually a ‘looseness’ in your work, but this has gone a stage further and has a real child-like quality that is really vibrant andenchanting.

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    Thx so much… Glad you like him!!
    Haven’t seen you for ages, was just thinking of you yesterday!
    Must have read my mind :). Great to hear from you
