# About me

The name is Kate Lawson, remember you saw me here first before my art became known (hipster). My portfolio is a work in progress. During college and the year after, I could not focus on creating many new pieces, but now that I have a day job I am very much looking forward to developing my skills and working on projects once again. I have always wanted to make meaningful art that is not confined to a classroom or a deadline. Now I have the freedom to challenge myself without the added pressure of a grade. Time to move forward!

Thank you very much for the fav on my wedding drawing of my OC-Emily Brown and Severus^^
I already knew you before cause I saw your wonderful picture of your meeting with sexy Mr. Rickman! I adore you for that. You were such a lucky person ;_; I so glad for you he liked your drawing of Snape since he seems to doesn't like that character anymore/very much

*hugs*

*blush* I didn't know my photo with him and Snape on a Segway had circulated so widely. Flattered that you recognized them. : )
Your picture is lovely. I just felt in the mood last night to look up Snape in a wedding scene (even though it's hard to imagine anyone would be willing to marry the snarky fellow) and I thought your rendition was beautiful.
Have fun and keep Snape-ing!

No problem, I love your interpretation of Snape. Different, but in a good way. (Just saw the SS/HG Wedding project too, and had to share it with friends : D)

Most folks sort of flip out at the wedding. I hope they like it. I get very few comments on u tube.

One of my friends was like "Kate, this is YOUR wedding!" Haha I wish!
At Infinitus I saw your "Gran" Longbottom costume and was thinking "How the hell was she able to pack that hat?". It amazes me how cosplayers can pack so much stuff to wear during cons, especially when they play multiple characters.
Keep it up, the fans love it!

Augusta started with designing the hat to travel. The hat comes apart. I detailed the construction of it on my live journal. But there is acore base hat, it has a velvro band that secures the cone. There is a second sleeve hatband that goes over the cone, it has velcro to secure the bird part. Each wing is a velcro "clamshell" that holds feather that have sticky velcro on each quill. I am not happy with the bird head. I had two major designs for Augusta's hat if one failed, but both designs came apart. By designing the hat for assembly/disassembly, the hat can be used for other costumes That's the added plus of the pull apart design. I dont do that many multiple characters-LOL. I do one character a day at con. I rarely switch between characters. I am primarily a snape cosplayer with one additional character at cons. It's the theater makeup that takes time, and August allows me time w/o the makeup.

Kate's Wedding? She married a scuffy Snape? LOL

KB-Shine In reply to droxy [2011-04-01 19:06:13 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, I see. Velcro is so useful. For a hat that huge it would have to be split into multiple parts, or else things would fall off/get damaged easily during transport.
I've only been to one con, Infinitus, but I plan on going to Ascendio next year. I admire all the cosplayers,especially those with witty/original costumes. I dress up as "Hermione", but really it's only the robes, the hair is just naturally like hers in the books. Most of the attention is drawn to my companion though, I have a black lab guide dog, and at Infinitus I put a "Padfoot" sign on her harness. Snape would hate to see Sirius walking around so boldly in Animagus form. : D

AHH!!! I remember seeing you and "padfoot" at Infinitus. I was thinking how cool was that? But I know guide dog etiquette so I just admired from afar. I am going to Aeternitas 2011 in New Hampshire this year. I am skipping Leakycon. We are thinking of going to Ascendio next year.

KB-Shine In reply to droxy [2011-04-01 21:28:11 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I have to skip Leakycon this year. All my money has been going to my semester abroad in England (I love it here, tomorrow I'm going to the real Platform 9 3/4). Next year Ascendio is right after my college graduation, so I'm hoping I can get the funds together to go.
When we're not in a hurry to get somewhere I will sometimes take the harness off so "Padfoot" can say hello to people. She's very friendly. If we're both at Ascendio I'd love to get a picture with the Professor. : )

I finally got a DA account! Not that I'm going to use it, but I figure I hunt pics on this site often enough that I should at least comment every once and a while. Now, let's see what stalking features we have on here so I can properly stalk you.

Hi!
I happened to stumble upon you in Gryffindor's common room and just wanted to say that your avatar is priceless but as I came here, I found out you are a lot more interesting...!
That idea of Snape on Segway is hilarious!!
But what gets me is your illness... I hope that doesn't sound too sick, but I'm naturally curious especially about your doggie is he your guide dog? Would you mind talking about it via notes?

Wish you a great day,
~Sheltie

Hi Sheltie,
Yep, Bambi is my partner in crime. XD I'd love to talk to you via note about her.
Snape on a Segway is my most popular piece, I can see why people love it, it's just something you wouldn't expect to see.

I totally agree with you. I loved him in 1-6 but the way she portrayed him in 7 was awful. I just pretend that book never happened. XD
