“JUMPER” to be self published

I can’t stop thinking about my two main characters, so I sketch them. Hoping for end of December-January for online book release. Drawings pertaining to my novel are only available for print purchase, the originals are not for sale. I hope they open the door for you to the world I created. “JUMPER” is book one in a scifi/fantasy romance. I wrote it like I paint and draw - with a psychological approach to the inner self. When the idea took form I NEVER intended for it to be a love story. It just happened, and like with my art - I let it happen. I paint and write with my instinct at the wheel. “art #book #author #artist #selfpublising #fantasyart #fantasybooks #sciencefiction #booklover #romancebooks #illustration #artistsoninstagram #artwork #figurativeart #charcoaldrawing #artgallery #artcollector #romancenovels #longbeach #losangeles #kelliethomaswalker #interiordesign

“Jumper” book release

I’ve decided to self publish book 1 of my “Jumper” series. Throughout the past 18 months I have been sketching and painting characters and emotions from my book. I have become profoundly connected to the characters in my story. I dream about them. They are there with me every day. When I release this book please know that it has me with it. #jumperbook #kelliethomaswalker #author #selfpublising #scifi #scifibooks #sciencefiction #sciencefictionbooks #romancebooks #bookrelease #books #art #artofinstagram #artwork #drawing #abstractart #figurativeart #figurativedrawing #longbeach #losangeles #writer #amwriting #bookrecommendations

Can you see?

Look close. Looks like one, but there is two. I finished the end to the first book in my “Jumper” series, and I can’t stop seeing my characters…so I draw them. #art #drawing #books #scifibooks #romancenovel #booklover #jumperbookseries

Elephant sketch. I’m finishing up this guy while listening to opera. Yep…opera. I’ve lived it since I was in muddle school - yeah, little weirdo huh? I love rock and of course alt (in my early twenties I bounced between grunge and alt looks). Sorry country fans - even though I was raised in the country, I don’t care for country music. Darn, as I’m writing this I realize how bad I need to see an optometrist. It might be time for contacts. Happy Fall Friday

Our day with Tara (Walker as she’s now called)

Our oldest TAra is a sailor. Dean and I had the best day in Chicago with our sailor. She had tons of food, coffee-all the things she couldn’t have did ten weeks. Now off to train for Air Rescue for the next year. It was incredibly hard watching her walk away from us tonight. We’re so proud of our 21 year old (turned 21 in boot camp) @tbw_dynamite #navy #navysailor #bootcampgraduation #ourdaywithtara #chicago

She’s the tiny one holding the blue flag. The Guidon I am told.

The Navy graduation was beautiful! Incredibly precise, it brought tears to my eyes to finally see my baby.

Navy Pier with Chicago in the background. Dean and I spent two additional days in Chicago, we loved it that much. So clean, and the ARCHITECTURE! Wow!

Navy Pier with Mom and Dad. I was 24 when I had Tara, Dean was 23. We have 4 girls now Tara 21, Reese 18, Kameryn 16 (almost 17), and Drew 14. The boot camp journey was more difficult on our end then I was expecting. I didn’t expect the emotions that we experienced but Dean and I did it together, and have grown even more close - if that were possible.

Mama and T

Chicago River Walk…a MUST

We HAD to find sushi! We’re Californians. Me being the Mama that I am made her put three napkins over her white uniform. Soy sauce stains BAD!

I snuck this. It tugged at my heart strings watching them walk together

I love when a sketch’s layers get nice and stacked and OH so blendable. 😃 It may be just an artist thing but the FEEL of the buildup on my fingertips is to die for! #art #sketch #drawings #artwork #artistoflife #artoftheday #balletdancer #balletart #ballerina #charcoaldrawing #artgallery #gallery #decor #modernart

Art therapy

I threw an art tantrum today. It was desperately needed. I wear a mask because of the fumes-I know I should wear one with more protection. My soul is not reacting well to the literary agent query process, and I’m aware that most manuscripts have received rejection after rejection. I’ve already received plenty of those in the art world, so I’m going to step back for a bit. I threw some paint today-it felt good. I can’t say my kitchen survived, but my heart feels a little less weighted. #literaryagent #querytrenches #query #art #painting #abstractart #abstractartwork #abstractpainting #artist #femaleartist #writer #queryhell #arttherapy #therapy

What inspires you?

4’x4’ abstract I painted a while back 🐠. Inspired by the ocean of course. We got passes to the Long Beach Aquarium (Aquarium of the Pacific). My favorites are the penguins and the otters. Did you know scenes #atypical was filmed there?

Sketch Roulette

Sketch book roulette. I asked my daughter to grab any one of my sketch books without opening it and hand it to me, I open an work on whatever I open to. Go figure…an angel I had forgotten about😇 #angel #angelart #art #artwork #sketch #drawing #modernart #femaleartist #artist #gallery #decor #illustration #artstudio #artofinstagram

New Surfboard

Dean (the husband) bought a new board, and I get to TEAR IT UP! (With paint pens). I’m so excited! My favorite surface to work with is a surfboard. So smooth, your hand glides right over the surface when you sketch. It’s such a rush. Now to brainstorm what to sketch. I think I’ll keep it black and white. #mayhemsurfboards #surfboard #surfboardart #art #streetart #artist #sketch #illustration #artwork #artgallery #gallery #surfing #modernart #writer #longbeachart #losangelesart #lineart

Moon

I finally finished my moon. I’ve played with it for probably over two years - hung it on my wall. Sometimes, small changes can give the strongest impact. I’m not sure on price, but there will be no discount on this one. #moon #moonlovers #moonart #moonpainting #moonlight #astroart #space #astronomy #art #artist #kelliethomaswalker #texturedart #artwork #astroworld
