Name
Kathryn Valliant
Date of Birth
03.21.1983
Occupation
Artist, Teacher, Student of the world.
Location
Albuquerque, NM, USA.
Education
Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sequential Art with a minor in Creative Writing at the Savannah College of Art and Design (2001-2005). Additional class work in Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Flash from Central New Mexico College (formerly TVI).
Interests
Art of all kinds, in particular Japanese and American comics. Books, mostly fantasy and romance (as well as comics and manga). Music, so long as it isn't hard rap or recent country. Video games when I have the time to play (never).
Likes
Well executed and twisty plots, great character and environmental design, sushi, iced chai tea and friendly conversation. All of my best friends are creative folks.
Dislikes
Belligerent people, super-spicy food, hurting others. Also, cleaning. I'm lazy, I'll admit it.
Favorite Book
(Currently) "Tinker" by Wen Spencer, though the Witch series by Kim Harrison is swiftly catching up, along with the Jim Butcher "Harry Dresden" series. I'm in a deep and persistent Urban Fantasy place right now.
Favorite Movies
(Again, currently) Dark City, The Iron Giant, 28 Days Later, Amelie, Stardust, Transformers, Batman Begins, Batman: Dark Knight.
Favorite Songs
Too many to count. I'm all about the mood music. I tend to not be so into Country and Hard Rap/Hip Hop.
