Even as an artist I am creating collections and bodies of work that are informed by my interests. Making art is the only thing I have ever wanted to do. I combine my love of storytelling, horror, the grotesque, feminism, and pattern into my work. I will be posting my personal artwork along with things that inform it.</p>http://kthomas331.tumblr.com/post/19842569052http://kthomas331.tumblr.com/post/19842569052Sat, 24 Mar 2012 10:35:47 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1efy3ztzm1rsubbgo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Badass spider face!</p>http://kthomas331.tumblr.com/post/19841547132http://kthomas331.tumblr.com/post/19841547132Sat, 24 Mar 2012 10:15:00 -0700Photo Library
