April Showers...

I know April showers is suppose to be a bad thing but not in this case. Creativity is pouring down on me right now. I just have done some really fun cute sketches that have inspired me. You can check them out on my website under my sketchbook page. They are all just for fun but they sparked something new in me. Actually I have had alot of new things spark inside of me lately. Maybe it is spring but I am just so excited working on my illustrations. I also have been checking out all my favorite Etsy shops and of course that too always gets me going. Oh, I also updated my website again. I wasn't thrilled with my portfolio page when I am on my iPad or my husband's pc. I still haven't done a mobile site but will get to that hopefully soon. There is a learning curve to it so... you know. Ha. Priorities. Like redoing my portfolio pages! Tell me what you think of it.

Updated my Website!

I decided to update my website to help deal with Flash not working on mobile sites (and of course, the awesome iPad!) I was thrilled to see that my portfolio script I used (simpleviewer) updated their script to work on newer technology. I ended up using that on also on my new section showcasing some of my sketches. Let me know what you think! I am now working on a mobile version but learning some scripting and techy stuff. I did choose to use static images for my main image on my home page, which isn't high tech but until I get my mobile site up, at least there is an image rather than the Flash icon. Happy technology!

Oh, and if you are thinking, wow... Kim has done two blogs today, that is unusual. Why, yes it is. But the truth is I am just procrastinating... from working out. Ha!

The Swim Meet Sketch

Just a sketch I did while sitting at my daughter's swim meet over the weekend. I especially like the little sister who is NOT happy. Hee hee.
