leliophelia aka Kelly McKernan is a 25.88 year old girl, has been a member since November 9, 2005, has scored 1,006 submissions, giving an average score of 1.81, helping 17 designs get printed.
So, jeez, my last designs were 6 years ago PLEASEDON'TLOOKATTHEMTHEYAREHORRIBLE, but I'm back, 6 years later, after art school, after a couple years as a freelancer and gallery artist trying my hand at it again.

My problem was, I have never been terribly confident with the digital medium. I work so much more intuitively with physical material, my weapon of choice being watercolor. But, I've been asked by various small companies to design shirts and I'm embarrassingly backed away from those because I just couldn't quite figure out how to translate my painting style into something that could work on a shirt.

Anyhow, here's what I've been up to/anyhow, this is what I make:









And, here's what I finally came up with in the digital medium:



I got rid of the oval frame, and submitted this:



So, anyhow, I hope you guys think I'm worthy of being printed - Lord knows I've been here long enough! But, if not, it's cool. Me and digital were never meant to be, then.

If ya want to vote for me, here you go:

Thanks y'all. - Kelly McKernan
