HELLO
AND
WELCOME
.
.
.My
name is Kim DeMulder. Thank you for visiting my virtual gallery. I've
been a professional illustrator for over 20 years. This gallery focuses
on the many types and styles of art that I have created. . . fantasy,
science fiction, comic books, etc., full color and black and
white.
WHAT'S NEW
Everything!
Kim DeMulder.com went up on 07/15/01. I will be trying to update the
site at least once a month, so check back often.
I will be appearing at the
VAMP (Vintage and Modern Pin-up) how in Secaucus, New Jersey, WizardWorld
in Chicago, and DragonCon in Atlanta along with my frequent model Tara.
For details, check out my appearances page.
WHAT'S HERE
Each section has a thumbnail
gallery highlighting a specific genre. Most of them are self-explanatory.
The SQP (Sal Quartuccio Productions) artwork is from black & white
and color portfolios and illustrations from their gallery girl books.
Any original artwork that
I still own, I am willing to sell. I also gladly accept commissions.
Visit my Art for Sale page for availability
of originals, commissions, and prints I have for sale. Also check eBay
for my occassional auctions.
WHO AM I?
Darned
if I know, although that ISN'T me to the left, just in case you're a
little confused here. If you have any ideas about who I really am (or
anything else, for that matter), send
'em to me. In the meantime, this is what I tell myself to stay relatively
sane.
I was born to Mom
and Dad in Bethesda, Md., 1955. I learned fairly early on that my love
of drawing pictures could have some advantages. In grade school, I found
that I could draw a picture instead of writing some dreary book report.
In junior high, I found that I could impress other guys by drawing naked
girls and thus avoid getting beaten up. In college I found that a business
major was useless to me and that I could draw pictures for a living!
After attending the Joe Kubert School of Art in Dover, NJ (Class of
'79), I started my art career!A few thousand comic book pages and hundreds
of other illustrations later,I'm still at it! And since 1989,I've also
been teaching students
at the Kubert School to do my job!
My biggest influence
as an artist. . . Mom! No joke! For a painting of Mom's click
here.
Other influences
include:
Oh, the usual lot...Frank Frazetta, Alex Raymond, Hal Foster, Al Williamson,
Stan Drake, Jeff Jones, Bernie Wrightson, Joe Kubert, Alberto Vargas,
Gil Elvgren, Sorayama, Heinrich Kley, Franklin Booth, Charles Dana Gibson,
James Montgomery Flagg, Howard Pyle, N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, Joseph
Clement Coll, Virgil Finlay, the Pre-Raphaelites, Lawrence Alma Tadema,
Alphonse Mucha, the Hudson River Painters. . . especially Frederick
Church, Thomas Moran, Thomas Cole, Alfred Bierstadt, etc., etc. . .
like I said, just the usual few!
My favorite mediums
to work with. . .
Again, just a few: Brush and ink; pen and ink; sponge and ink; rag,
towel, cloth and hair and ink; watercolor and gouache paints; acrylic
paint; ink wash; acrylic wash; gouache wash!; wash cloth; pastels, crayons,
bits of dirt, a grubby finger; all kinds of marker pens; a sharpened
Popsicle stick; collage!. . . I love collage!; my cat's tail; sometimes
even a pencil or three; and lately. . . digital, especially Adobe Photoshop.
.
Words to live
by:
"I used to have a wild card!"
"A cartoonist is a terrible thing to waste."
"Don't forget to eat your greens and crack your window!"
"Ars longa vita brevis."
"Whatsa XQB?!"
What is an XQB?
Students
at the Kubert School become known as Kubies (or QBs). After leaving
the school, the QBs metamorphose into ex-kubies (as in, "this is
an ex-parrot!"). . . also known as XQBs. Check out http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/xkubies
for some incomprehensible XQB babble.
Favorite artistic
subject matter:
Take a guess! A quote from Dad: "You got anything on this site
other than girls?"
Special thanks
to:
Mom
and Dad; and Mark 'n Betsy; and Matt 'n Nancy. And to you, Jon...
Mike Chen - XQB and longtime friend and good advice-giver.
The rest of the poker gang - Ron, Sid, Lyman,
Ted. . . XQBs all!
Tara, Allison, Azziza, and Veronica - Such exquisite inspiration!
Joe Edkin & Pat Sanger- For without them, this site would not exist!
