Surely As The Sun Will Rise

Let it flow

2012-01-12T16:49:00.000-08:00

Quick study of a vision I had a while ago. The "flowing/soaring" mist/light/beams represents the Holy Spirit moving through towns and regions here on earth. :)

Open the Flood Gates of Heaven

2011-12-16T13:33:00.001-08:00

I was worshiping God to the song, "Open the Flood Gates of Heaven" and God showed me this image of heaven opening up....So I painted it. :D The blue/"starry" part is supposed to be heaven and then the gates are opening and the "Glory" of God is pouring down into the world on us, His followers and rolling over itself like a river, over flowing. :D

Sorry for the pour quality photos, ill try to get better scans. :)

My Saturday

2011-11-20T19:30:00.000-08:00

My awesome friend Reida told me about this place called The Well that's in Orlando closed to downtown. It's a place where people can pray, worship, create and connect with other people. As soon as I walk in this place with Reida, I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. There are already countless of prophetic/worship paintings on the walls and mirrors. There is eclectic furniture for a lounge area, mismatched tables and small conversations of the waves of the Holy Spirit going on in this place. Prayer is happening in the back room as we walk into the "healing room" where most of the paintings are. They are in the process of opening up the property right next to their's for renovations for a future venue for bands to come and play. As I'm walking around, I get introduced to the owners, Guy and Jenn, whom are awesome, creative people with their spirited daughter, Abigail, running around pretending to be a tiger. She's an artist in the making if I ever saw one. haha I immediately am captivated by her as God shows me and Reida how she is the perfect example of how we should come in the presence of God: like a child. She is so free and has the most vivid imagination as well as huge faith and trust that nothing bad can happen to her here. The thought doesnt even cross her mind. She's just happy to be dancing. I realize that Jesus sees her as the most important person in the whole room. There are at least four talented, anointed, mature, walking with the Lord, Christians here but SHE is the most important out of all of us. I direct my attention to her as the others are praying together. She proceeds to tell me how much she loves colors and which ones are her favorite. She tells me that she really likes pink, yellow and purple (now I have my pallette). :D Then I pray and God gives me this vision:

The flower buds are us before we know Christ when God is planting seeds in our lives to direct our steps and point us towards Him. Then we bloom when we meet Jesus and fully give our lives over to Him. Then as we press forward in our walk with God, we get lit on fire for Him and soar like meteors out into the world which is a dark place and we are transformed into stars, bright lights shining in the darkness. Jenn saw the lights almost as birds flying too. There is a whole in the wall where, Guy tells me, that when they first bought the place, he was trying to patch up for a paintable surface but couldn't because of all the sand within the walls. As we was doing this, he felt so discouraged and he thought how this place is such a "whole in the wall"; it's so far away and out in the middle of the city where there's not a lot of church going people, kind of in a run down part of town. Fast forward back to me painting, he's watching me and God totally uses my painting to minister to him because I'm taking this whole in the wall and i put a bright light in it and paint around the edges and the inside of the whole, making it beautiful.

That is what I want my art to do. Glorify God and minister to people for the glory of His kingdom; to help all the earth look towards Him. :D

Next I went to Cranes Roust where a couple of my friends hold Worship In The Park. They are playing songs and I'm eating a sandwich from Chick fil A. I'm looking out into the water and the sky and listening to the birds and the fish splashing and I see a turtle swimming near the dock I'm standing on. I'm just overcome with all of creation and how beautiful it is and fun to hear all the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea. God speaks to me and tells me, "I made all this for you to enjoy". All of creation was made for us. So naturally I have to paint the turtle. lol I wasnt really sure why the turtle and not a bird or fish but it just had to be the turtle. Little did I know, Christina, playing the drums, walks over, sees my painting and exclaims, "Oh I LOVE turtles!" haha (I think to myself, THAT'S why!...and also...this is your painting. lol) I gave it to her and she, honoring me, hung it on a wall in her house. :D I'm so blessed! I love Jesus!

These were the skies that were overhead when we were worshiping. :D

Holy spirit hang out night

2011-11-20T18:20:00.001-08:00

Hung with my girls, Tanya and Reida after serving single mothers at Orlando Resque Mission Center. As we prayed together I saw this and its what God sees us as, these bright lights in the darkness. Also it has a couple meanings, the Holy Spirit hovers over the darkness, over the waters. It also is pointing to our triune God, the trinity and how "where two or more are gathered, there I AM". You are solidified when you have felloship just as you won't fall over if you are standing in between two people; as opposed to if you're by yourself, you may fall to the right or to the left.

The MixMid!!

2011-09-15T12:04:00.000-07:00

My church, Church in the Son, asked me to paint these offering buckets for their Youth ministry called The MixMid. They are totally on fire for God and the most seeking and 'diving into the Word' kids I've ever seen. It's awesome, if you're in Orlando, you should check out Church in the Son.

True Love

2011-09-10T14:34:00.000-07:00

This is my two friends, Emily & Stan. They are in love and just got married this past weekend. <3 The "Love" they are holding is my own creation. I carved it out of wood with a Dremel tool and painted it a dark teal anf roughed it up to have a worn look. It was so much fun and I really like working with wood. Also I think it's equally kool because Jesus was a carpenter and I bet He could do some amazing things with this medium.
enjoy!

Katie's bday present

2011-08-27T22:35:00.000-07:00

Santiago Tidal Wave

2011-08-12T16:12:00.000-07:00

This is the painting I did during a mission trip to The Dominican Republic. My team and I went to a church in Santiago and I wanted to do a worship painting to bless that church. God gave me this image of this tidal wave as well as I had heard a prophecy the day before about this tidal wave. It symbolizes how the Holy Spirit is going to wash over and take the city of Santiago and move through the people in that place. Santiago is going to be a city for God and His kingdom. :D

p.s. (I didnt know this when I painted it..) but recently God showed me that the red part in the painting represents the people of Santiago and how He is coming to bring them into His kingdom. :)

in Christ,
kelly

just foolin around.

2011-07-27T14:42:00.000-07:00

My Jewelry Making Adventures

2010-07-15T14:44:00.000-07:00

My very first attempts at jewelry making. It is surprisingly super easy and just comes natural to me. I really enjoy doing it. It's so much fun! I hope you enjoy!

London!

2010-07-03T10:52:00.000-07:00

OK, so where do I begin... Man it's all a blurrrrrrr.....

Before I begin, all photos can be found on facebook or Tublr. I'll only put a few on here.

So, My mom, two aunts, and a family friend, Pam, and I all set out for London to see the city and visit my cousin Ashley who has a business internship there for the summer. We left Friday, June 18th at 11am and flew to our layover, Charlotte, NC, where my lovely friend Emily lives. She and three of my other friends are on a cross country trip asking the US what they believe Love is. Check out their site here: http://loveeachone.bl ogspot.com From Charlotte we flew into Gatwick (an hour from our hostel in London), took a taxi into town and found our flat.

After two long naps in the afternoon, i woke up at 10pm, ready to start my day.... only to find that everyone else had gone to sleep... :/ (jet lagged) So I read a little and then went back to bed to wake up at 7am all on my own, no alarm clock needed. (haven't done that in a looong time, if ever) The sun rises at 4am and sets at 10pm in London, weird huh?

Monday, we all set out early, on the Tube (British subway system) and got our Big Bus Tour Tickets. We wanted to ride the River boat down the Thames (pronounced "Tems") first. We saw the London Eye, the London Bridge, and The Millennium Bridge (nicknamed The Wibbly Wobbley Bridge) - not because of it's debut in the Harry Potter movie but because back in 2000, it really did wibble and wobble. They had to close it for two years when modifications were made to eliminate the wobble entirely. Next we were off to a ghost tour where we found such sites as Benjamin Francklin's house, Sherlock Holmes favorite pub (they actually have a mini museum inside of all his real things) It was kool to see his pipe and magnifying glass. One of the koolest pubs I was in the whole trip. While were on the subject of pubs, they are EVERYWHERE. Any corner you look, there's a pub. Not all pubs serve food and they all have that air of old fashioned-ness about their architecture. That was another site to see, London's architecture hasn't changed much since the 1920's. Much to my liking there are flowers planted in almost every window sill on the streets and in parks. Some of the most gorgeous flowers I've ever seen I saw in London.

Next we went to The Tower of London which looks like a huge old castle and is home to the Queens Jewels. WOW is all I can say to describe all her jewelry. They were mostly crowns and other accessories in addition to some suites of armor and ceremonial gowns and scepters. I also found out that the Tudors were the first to hold the crown in England...BOOYAH!! lol I even got to talk to a guard there that was very impressed with my heritage. :D

Three things I learned while being in London, it is very clean, the people are very polite and not one person is out of fashion. So naturally we all had to go shopping. :D It was a blast. Although, watch your wallet while shopping, $1 = 1.5 lbs. That means when you think you're only spending 40 lbs, you're actually spending 60 dollars. ;/ But it was totally worth it. I'm frugal to a fault and was not about to pass up this opportunity to treat myself. We also saw two plays, The Phantom of the Opera and Priscilla...both were very good. Scoops, a local gelato place we became very acquainted with was a regular occurrence at the end of the day on our way home to our flat. The last day, we found out they deliver! Who ever came up with "ice cream right to your door" is a genius! haha. Although I prefer the nice stroll down to the corner street, my fellow travelers were not as keen after a full day of walking. :)

We also saw Windsor Castle which is the only "not in ruins" castle I've ever seen. It was gorgeous! Since it was built, it has never been out of commission, the royal family has used it all these years. How amazing. We also saw Buckingham Palace when the queen was in (the way to know if she's there is if the flag is up). We saw the changing of the guard and also went to Wimbledon for a whole day. Wimbledon was very fun, I saw some tennis matches and when I was tired of that, I found a beautiful oasis off out of the beaten track where people were taking naps, having picnics, reading books in the grass. It was lovely and there was a waterfall and Lilly pad pond near by too. British people know how to hold events. That was probably the best part of my whole day. I read my (British version) Harry Potter book while laying the grass with the nice breeze. Yes, you heard right, British version Harry Potter book. They have different versions. The text is different!! It all means the same thing but they have British words like instead of bathroom they say "Lou" or "Toilet" and instead of french fries they say "Chips" and instead of potato chips, they say "Crisps". It's really kool reading them, I could only find three of them while there and I'm going to order the rest online.

After Windsor we went to a restaurant called Zizzi's. It was Italian food and very good. I unfortunately couldn't eat because I felt ill from an apple I had for breakfast. Apparently food isn't as processed over there and my body didn't take too kindly to that. Never the less, it was lovely sitting with my travel partners and talking, not to mention the waiter, John, was very cute. I must say London is the capital of the world for cute boys. I've never seen so many in one place. haha

The last day, all the travelers had different things they wanted to see so Mom and I split to go see the Harry Potter side of London while my two aunts, and Pam went to Trafalgar Square and Covent Gardens and we all met up at Harrods (a huge department store with 5 floors and escalators) I tried on some Christian Louboutin shoes... :D

While Mom and I were looking for Harry Potter sites, we saw Kings Cross, Platform 9 3/4, Diagon Alley (the real one it's based on and the one they filmed) and the inside of Gringotts Bank. It was unreal to be standing where the films were made. While in the Diagon Alley that was filmed in the movie, it was like you just stepped right into Harry Potter world. It was so much fun. :D

We ended yet another day with Fish n' Chips and Scoops and headed to bed to fly out the next morning at 6am. Woohoo! what a blast! Thank you to Ashley for having your internship there to give me and the rest of my family a beautiful excuse to visit London. :D

Hello, long time no see

2010-06-27T16:30:00.000-07:00

So sorry for the long absence. I wanted to let you all in on what I've been up to since graduation. :)

I have been doing freelance for a company called Creative For Kids stationed in Illinois drawing cartoonish/Disney-esk characters and animals. They do Bible curriculum for kids in order to make it more easily understandable for them. Really great company, wholesome, great bosses.
Still on the hunt for a full time job. I'm really looking into Laika in Portland, OR and will be visiting there in early July.

I just got back yesterday from London! I had a blast. It was fantastic. There will be tons of photos so keep an eye out.

Now on to the important stuff, right now I am working on Buzz Lightyear and he will be posted hopefully by the end of the week but I'll let you know. I have other projects that I am getting paid for that need to be done first before I finish him. I am doing a painting for a company called Blind and Shutter Galleries. They want large landscape paintings to go inside all their shutters so that when they are showing a client their pieces, they can open the shutters and instead of a blank wall underneath, they will see a painting of a park, lake or the sunny beaches of Florida.

Until then,
cheers!

Senior Thesis

2010-05-10T19:48:00.000-07:00

Artist Statement

(displayed at senior show)

Hi, my name is Kelly Tudor. I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, FL.

I started drawing when I was three years old and I haven't stopped since. In 2007 I became largely interested in the visual development field in the entertainment industry. Paul Lasiane, Nico Marlet, and Lorelay Bove are among my many influences. I also look at a number of “Art Of” books published by Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks.

My project is based on Visual Development. I have developed a story for a mock short, animated film and have completed all the pre-production for it, such as: character designs, environment designs, prop sheets, 3D traditional maquettes, as well as concept art, story boarding and an animatic. These works have helped further my knowledge of the pre-production process. I thoroughly enjoy the production process and find it exhilarating to watch characters and stories come to life.

Here is the synopsis of my story:

My main character is Fez. He is one of nine cats owned by Lady Goldberg.

Lady Goldberg is a crazy old cat lady, inventor that makes her cats work her inventions to help her around the house. Some make her coffee, cook her meals, fix her plumbing, and a number of them clean her house. While Fez works on the cross stitching machine. Her house is more of a cat sweat shop than a home.
One day, Fez gets fed up after Lady Goldberg yells at him one too many times. He devises a plan to make the machine explode by throwing a spindle of thread into it. He tells his fellow workers the plan but they don't buy it so he decides to go it alone. He sneaks to the machine while Lady Goldberg is taking her afternoon nap and conducts his plan. It works but with one tiny glitch, his paw gets caught in the thread that is tangled in the machine. The machine gets louder and louder because of the tangled thread. Fez calls for his comrades and they rush to help him before Lady Goldberg wakes up and catches them all. Lady Goldberg wakes up and runs to the machine to grab the cats and throw them back to work but two cats jump on her preventing her from getting to Fez. Fez grabs a wad of the tangled thread and throws it to the two cats attacking Lady Goldberg. They catch it and tie Lady Goldberg in it, tangling her up with the machine. Fez sees an open window and he realizes they can all escape. They finally free him from the machine and make a break for it leaving Lady Goldberg trapped in her own invention.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my senior project.

I hope it was as enjoyable for you to see as it was for me to create.

new stuff! + figure (thesis spoiler!)

2010-04-28T17:19:00.001-07:00

I'm DONE!!!!

2010-04-21T08:07:00.000-07:00

Wahooo!!! I just finished my thesis yesterday and I couldn't feel more liberated. :)

Lady Goldberg

2010-03-01T08:28:00.000-08:00

So thesis is about 1/2 way done and I'm working on my maquette of the villain in my thesis, Lady Goldberg.

Here's a little about her:

She is an old cat lady inventor that invents machines powered by her cats that do house-hold chores for her in order to be fed.

She hates smiles, yarn, cat hair on her sofas, and happiness, especially if that happiness involves her cats. She runs a tight ship and is prompt in every situation, has grown up a submarine captain's daughter and likes strawberry pie.

Age: 76
Height: 4.3"
Weight: She is very appalled you would ask! "Isn't it enough I told you my age! Didn't anyone teach you manors!?"
Hair color: gray with white wispies
Eye color: light-green with yellow flicks
Favorite color: mauve
Favorite movie: "Who needs that rubbish! That's what books are for!"

If you want to know more about her, just leave her a message in the comments and I'll forward it over to her.

:)

My dad just told me this story in an email recently and it just warmed my heart so much!

You were there, but only 4 years old. I don't know if you remember it, but we were in an Amphitheater where the entire place is outside and you sat on a tier of the pit area that surrounded the central location where the pastor stood down below. It was a beautiful day then and you could see the trees swaying in the breeze and it was bright and sunny, but not hot at all. Everybody was silent as the pastor was congratulating a member for being "saved". You instantly stood up and yelled "YAY!" and the entire congregation of people laughed and the pastor said "That's right! Yay!". All we could do was clap as did everyone else.

Hope that made you smile. Have a great day :)

i think im done.

Hey guys, not sure where to take this. I'm stuck. I don't know what to do with it right now.

The two figures don't fit in the space. I'm going to be changing her gesture a little to make her seem more like shes falling backwards.

Any tips, advice would be more than helpful!

Thanks!

t-shirt designs

2009-06-10T14:48:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple t-shirt designs I've made up for
my church, The Bridge.

On the top of the back of the white shirt I'm putting:

Psalm 78:4 (NLT)

"We will not hide these truths from our children;
we will tell the next generation
about the glorious deeds of the Lord,
about his power and his mighty wonders.

And on the top of the back of the black shirt in white type I'm putting:

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
