About Me

howdy!
i'm KYMM! -- a chicago lowbrow pop artist (a resident detroit gallery ©POP artist for over 10 years), jewelry crafter & graphic designer. despite how it may sound, the SACRED CHERRY isn't some prudish feminist concept... after working as a tattoo shop bitch way back when, i became engaged with the sacred heart as a pop-iconic image. bastardizing it with a juicy cherry just seemed natural.

so what else...
it's fair to laugh at everyone else only after you've learned to laugh at yourself (& believe me i'll laugh at you & i won't feel bad about it!). i wish muppets were real...

(all art & jewelry shown on this page was made by me...

PLEASE DON'T STEAL IT!!!

changing the subject
so it seems that myspace doesn't have a "find kymm! some nifty friends" button. so if you find me first, please let me know! and if i do find you, is it rude of me to assume we can be friends, or the internet equivalent thereof?

hey look, there's some stuff i made. wha'dya know about that!
(p.s. i LOVE doing custom work! leave me a message if you need some!)
