CateTownsend
I luv this sooo much Karin, you really should think about illustrating a childrens book.
Karin Taylor
replied
thanx very much Cate .. one day i’d love to do something along those lines :)
Laurie McClave
Karin, really this is fantastic. love the color and texture and elephants are soo special!
Karin Taylor
replied
thanx very much Laurie :)
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 Taylor
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
Maybe just maybe you could write the books too and I’ll promote them lol
Karin Taylor
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 :)
Cathleen Taraw...
I wish i could have a room full of your stuff.
Karin Taylor
replied
oh that’s a lovely thing to hear :) thx!
Anni Morris
Great use of mixed media Karin. You have created a magical elephant.
Karin Taylor
replied
thanx Anni :)

Almost egyptian! now that would be a theme :O

Karin Taylor

but it hasn’t yet downloaded fully into my brain….but i love all things egyptian…...a rich culture, lovely golds and blues….so interesting :)
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 Taylor
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 :)

Cilliers
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.
Karin Taylor

thank you very much Carmen…but it’s funny, when I first came to RB it was you who was one of the artists that i was wishing to emulate!!!! isn’t that funny…. :D
Cilliers

It’s beautiful, but, the ‘x’ eyes still make me think of the way they draw dead people in cartoons.

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.
