This is a great article by the folks at www.evokad.com that I found on AdCandy (an extremely cool app on my iphone). Drawing isn't dead! So much great design is computer made but it is nice to know that good old pen (or pencil) to paper still rocks. When I'm at shows and I'm talking to people about my work, they are pleasantly surprised to learn that my drawings are made by me by hand and aren't lithographs or prints. I totally agree with this article that an original, one-of-a-kind illustration can give a design piece so much more pizazz. The next time you have a logo, postcard, greeting card, poster or other design project, think of me and all the other illustrators for the art portion. You never know - it could be just what was missing.

About Me
- Karen Waltermire - inkonly
- I am a self-taught artist and live in Alexandria, Virginia. My pen and ink drawings are abstract and surrealist, a result of the artist’s journey in understanding the formation and manifestation of the process of thinking. My works appear edgy or humorous, and my characters mysterious – a representation of the surreal world where all thoughts, emotions and ideas are originating from. I have a B.S. in psychology from George Mason University and studied art for several years at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Washington Studio School in Washington, D.C., and The Art League School in Alexandria, Virginia. My artworks are in private collections.
