My name is Kaelin Horne and I am a 22 year old Illustrator and Artist based in Murcia, Spain for the time being. I was born and raised in Helena, Montana, a small town in the northwest of the United States. Above all else, I have always had an understanding and passion for the arts. I have attended classes as a child, in high school, and a few courses at Montana State University. After attending the university in my home state for two years, I left to pursue a life of spontaneity. That is how I ended up in the sunny, south of Spain. At the moment I am studying Spanish, but I will be studying Animation in Cinema and Tattooing fall of 2017. xxx As a creator I intend to elicit emotion from my viewers. For some it may be positive while others negative, however, if I can make you ponder, I feel as if I have succeeded. I personally derive pleasure in producing art that shocks its viewers. As an artist and a human I am on a psychoanalytical journey to better understand the complexity of my thoughts. So I find it is necessary to document, and create a collection of what is in my head. I need it to keep my sanity. It is how I identify myself. Even though identity has always been something that creates and destroys me. I am a lesbian, feminist, agnostic, clinically depressed, and narcissistic enchantress that is still trying to figure out who and what her identity really is. I I sense a multitude of personas and particles that form my being, so it is hard for me to fully explain who I am, because I am not sure myself. I am bored easily and change my mind frequently, by this I have a desire to learn new things, even if I quickly abandon them after. However, the one aspect that has never left me or disinterested me, is creating. I am able to harness this complexity and constant change in my life and express it in my art. xxx As stated above, I consider myself agnostic and everything about the unknown intrigues me, this shows in my work. I like to explore this in my character design, by exaggerating human form and creating creatures. I work with many mediums but I enjoy pen and marker and digital design for now. I have begun working on small comics that utilize idioms or puns. I am interested in taboos, desexualising the female form by oversexualizing it, if that makes any sense. Feminism, LGBT issues, polemic themes, existence, dark comedy, lesbian art, mental illnesses, science fiction, creatures, fantasy, dystopias, this is a broad list of themes that hold my intention and explode from my skull. xxx I love to learn from other artists in this community, that we share, because each of you has a style and process that is unique and important to me. I'd have no artistic style if I wasn't inspired by all of you. However, some top dogs to name that really inspire me are Jamie Hewlett and Jean-Michel Basquiat. I am always interested in collaborations. I draw tattoo designs for people, and work from commission. Contact me for inquiries or if you want to collaborate on something.
