Kelly Howlett!

In Response To: Cool Artist! (Kris McElman)

It is good to see Kelly doing so well! She has had some letters published in the Kabuki letter collumn and one of the issues included a Kabuki painting she did in a reader art or photo section.

I've met her several times at conventions, and read her letters and it is good to see that she has put so much effort into her work and grown so much!
Thanks for the link to her site. Here is her bio from it:

Kelly Howlett started drawing at the age of 15 as an emotional outlet to deal with the loss of her mother to breast cancer. While studying graphic design and psychology at Silver Lake College, she began correspondence with a number of comic book artists including David Mack and Guy Davis, who encouraged her to pursue a career in illustration. Now at the age of 25, Kelly sells work internationally, tours publishing conventions around the Midwest, and has permanent exhibits on the internet and in small venues.

Heavily influenced by comic books, Kelly's work is mostly figurative portraits of women. She calls the paintings her "girls" and notes that most of the women she draws are strictly from her imagination. The text written in her work is extremely personal, often written unconsciously, and therefore purposely obscured. Kelly claims she conjures her girls to share secrets.

: Hi Folks!
: Every once in a while I stumble across a cool book, album
: or artist and I'll post a little something here...

: About a year ago I spotted a book at work that had a
: really cool cover. (I work in a public library...) I
: picked up the book and read it and it was a pretty
: good mystery, but the cover struck me enough to write
: the artists name down. I went to look online to see if
: she had any sort of web presence and found nothing.

: So, there I am last Saturday, cleaning my desk when I
: find this piece of paper with a name on it... I do a
: google search and voila! She has a website now! Cool,
: eh?

: Then I scroll down... and see a picture of Andy Lee
: staring back at me. And in her biograpy section she
: mentions David Mack as one of her influences.

: Who is she, you ask?
: go to www.kellyhowlett.com and see!

: Just thought you folks would dig her stuff and get a kick
: out of my weird little story.

: Have fun!

: "It's a small world afterall...."
