: About Me

Kathy Gold is a science fiction and fantasy digital artist and storyteller. Her art, created using computer software, is designed to tell a story, whether it's part of a series or a single work. The vibrant colors, playfulness and futuristic feel to her designs is in part inspired by Japanese anime and manga. Additional influences include pop culture mythology such as Star Wars, The Matrix, and other science fiction and fantasy screen epics.

Kathy was born in Budapest, Hungary and immigrated to the United States at age 6. As an only child and new to this country, it was difficult for Kathy to make new friends. Shy and introverted, she turned to her imagination and creativity as an outlet to express her feelings. Besides writing, acting and singing, Kathy also painted with oils, mainly landscapes.

At the age of 8, Kathy applied to a performing arts school for entry. In her interview for acceptance to the school, her assignment was to paint a bowl of fruit. Kathy's parents were told the school would get back to them, but they never did. Months later, somehow one of her paintings got included in the family's garage sale. Kathy's mother ended up selling that painting. Rejected by the performing arts school and with her precious painting sold, Kathy vowed never to paint again.

Yet, through the years, Kathy was always involved in some creative project in one form or another. Kathy sang in a rock band and published poetry. For many years, she was a successful Internet marketing consultant and web designer. But her main passion eluded her, storytelling.

After much research, Kathy decided the best media to tell her stories were graphic novels/comic books. A self taught artist, she used Photoshop and Poser software to create her digital graphic novel.

While going through the process of creating a graphic novel from scratch, Kathy rediscovered her love of creating art. "I love to create art, I could do it 24/7 and it still wouldn't be enough," she says.

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Marie Antoinette

6 of 16

I just rented this movie cause I'm intrigued about the Habsburgs. I got what Sofia Coppola was doing with the look and feel of the movie, it's basically an Adam Ant version with some Missing Person's mixed in. I enjoyed the look and the soundtrack. And yes the costumes look all authentic. What I didn't enjoy was - there was no plot or subplots, there was no message, there was nothing. I didn't hate Marie Antoinette, I didn't like her, I didn't feel any sympathy for her. I didn't feel anything for her at all. I just could not relate to this character or any other character in the movie. The...
