Kelly with a Y

Kelly, that's not funny...

About Me

Different is the new normal.

Ever feel like if you've read one MySpace profile you've read them all? Fashionably misunderstood, "Art is my life," "I'm in a band," "I'm dark and Gothic," "I'm a writer, artist, lover, etc." and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I would love to tell you I am the answer to all generic MySpace profiles, but I'm not. I'm a damn good artist though.

My name is Kelly. I'm a Christian but not religious. I am an artist but I'm not melodramatic. I love music, but can't play a damn thing unless my iPod counts. I live for concerts and concert trips. Eventually, I will design merch, cd covers and posters for musicians. Until then, I am a full time art student and full time corporate work slave.

If you want to know more, read my blog.

New blog Kelly Porter: Art in Progress

My Interests

Art: viewing, talking, making, buying, living. Photography (The whole developing, enlarging, printing, yeah), concerts, music (can't play a instrument unless my iPod counts), road trips, traveling (the whole planning where to go etc), writing (though it only makes sense to me), bumming around, hanging out, talking to great people, etc, etc,.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet people in the art community: other artists, graphic artists, musicians, etc. I also love to talk to people who have a sense of humor, sarcastic, strange obsessions with MAC computers, people who are addicted to PhotoShop, people who can have a conversations with out it being centered around themselves, fellow geeks, WDWCP alum, dorks, anyone who understands my Hello Kitty addiction and you.

Music:

Honestly, I love bits and pieces of everything. I am getting into blues music more mostly because the new stuff sucks. I am a huge John Mayer fan, but don't email me some comment about him unless you have heard him live. If you haven't, you really do not know what he is capable of. I also like to B&P his live shows. I also like, KoRn (before they started to suck), Marilyn Manson, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, No Doubt, Jimmy Eat World, Jeff Buckley, Jay-Z, Kayne West, Deftones, GodSmack, Linkin Park, U2, and whatever is on my iPod, which is a lot.

Movies:

This is one of those list that I will make and think back later, "OH! I forgot one!"Cinderella, Frida, Harry Potter, Sleeping Beauty, Don Juan DeMarco (can you tell I'm typing out the DVD rack?), Lord of the Rings (But I'm not an overweight male pedophile) Breakfast at Tiffany, Pirates of the Caribbean, Signs, the Village, Sixth Sense, Garden State, Under the Tuscan Sun (I WANT THAT HOUSE!) etc.

Television:

I heart Project Runway. I love watching the news, but loathe opinion shows. I've got my own, don't need an overweight fat man's opinion. I fall asleep to HeadLine news. I love this new Fine Living channel. Any show that tells me how something is made. Behind the scene type shows. Grey's Anatomy is growing on me. I miss Friends. I love old shows and TV Land. All the shows I like as a kid are really lame. I love Jem.

Books:

The Bible (No, seriously), all the Harry Potter books, the Vagina Monologues, anything -- ANYTHING -- that has to do with art and design, and music books.

Heroes:

Jesus, my family, my best friend Sel, Frida Kahlo, Van Gough, Picaso, Pollock and women everywhere.
