What's Going On?

I can't say welcome back to you, because I'm the one who has been gone. I was gone for years focusing on my software UX/Design work for Lenovo. But in Jan this year, 2022 - holy cow 2022 - I retired from softwareland. I am now ready to indulge my less linear side. I know my engineering teammates are probably all rolling their eyes at since linear is probably not a word they would have associated with me. But, the design process is both linear and iterative, like the creation of art.

Art is where my head and heart are now. Always my head has been full of ideas for sculptures, pictures, collages, things I could make. Ideas sprang up like popcorn. Always I was thinking, "I want to make that!" Always the answer was "no time." Now I have time, space and tons of materials I've collected over the years to turn into things that I've always wanted to see. Now I need to build the skills I need to create the things I want to see. 

I also want to share what I make. That means dividing into the deep end of social media. That's a post for another day. 

So stay tuned. Now that I'm focused on my creative life, I plan to keeping this blog up to day. 


For now, please enjoy some lovely pictures of Saltine and his sister, Strudel:

Here's Saltine, Salty, himself. Whenever I'm working on the computer, Salty and Strudel are supervising from the high shelf. That's Strudel laying beside him with her back to the camera.

Here's Strudel-Noodle taking center stage.

My New Online Home

On the move again As yall know last year I started looking around for another way to host my work online. I was moving away from the lunacy and scam-ridden world of social media. It was hard, and I really enjoyed making little animations and images to share; but I know my content was becoming just more advertising on top of an overwhelming amount of ads that my followers were being inundated with. As I looked into it, I see  that social media can have a detrimental effect on users' mental health and happiness. Creating unhappiness or stress is the exact opposite of why I create images. So I stepped back from that malstrom. And now I'm taking another step in a better direction. I'm moving away from prints and 3rd party reproduction to focus on real world interactions, and original creations. To do this, I'm shutting down my old url (https://www.kitkatzenworks.com/) and moving my work to a new home:  https://www.coroflot.com/krinkn What is Coroflot? Coroflot is a global s...
