Happy Holiday Season!It's been a while since my last update. Just wanted to drop in and wish you all a wonderful holiday season. This year was filled with plenty of ups and downs, and this time of year is a great time of reflection and hope. I have done a lot of rebranding throughout this fall season in anticipation for my graduation next spring. I'm so excited to share this journey with you all. xoxo - Kati  Kati Doodles: Girls and Pets! This semester, we were prompted in Susan Kwas' Professional Practices for the Illustrator course to keep up with a weekly Instagram prompt. I decided to draw weekly illustrations of different girls and their pets. I created 16 images throughout the semester to post each week, and have now compiled the collection into a 2019 Calendar! That's right! My annual calendar is back.

I hope you all had a wonderful month. May is always my favorite month of the year as the weather begins that beautiful transition from spring to summer. May also consists of many birthdays including my own and many of my loved ones. Here's what I've been up to! RECENT PROJECTS:
 Laser Cut Gift Bag In addition to the vinyl sticker, we also worked in the MIAD maker space using the laser cutting printers to create these gift bags! These will be great skills for my future as a senior and my upcoming thesis show. A Forbidden Love - Animated Short With the end of the semester came the completion of an animated short for Video and Animation Production. This animation tells the hilarious tale of how a fairy and merman come to meet, and slowly fall in love. I've been wanting to pursue this idea for a long time, and am happy with the outcome. I would love to take this idea even farther someday!
People Watching A few weeks ago, I got to visit my dear friend Sarah for her 17th birthday. I did lots of doodling while I was on the east coast, including various doodles of strangers. Drawing these quick figures is a great way to exercise my gestural drawing abilities with a character designing twist! Pictured above: Figure studies at Dane County Regional Airport, May 10th.

I met Sarah finally after having her in my life for over 2 years. She's such an amazing friend, and I'm so glad that my artwork and our mutual love for people like Sabrina Carpenter and Dove Cameron is what brought us together! This trip was so fun and I will never forget all the exciting adventures we had!
On May 22nd, Kari and I had our 21st birthday and it was a lovely day. Thank you to everyone who wished us well, and helped us celebrate! May has been a very busy month, so I can't wait for things to calm down a bit in June so I can get drawing every day again! Catch ya next month with yet another update!
