Holly grew up an army brat, which allowed her to experience different cultures from across the United States and overseas. She is a married, stay at home mom of three. She enjoys drawing, learning to sew, photography, reading and learning to cook allergy friendly recipes. Kylie is autistic and thinks that helps her see the world in a unique and creative way that feeds her art. At the age of 13 Kylie saw and her mother bought her first comic book. That was when she fell in love with the industry. She started out by redrawing every panel of her X-Men #22 and Uncanny X-Men #302 comic books. At the age of 15, Kylie was published by AC Comics in Femforce Pin-up Portfolio 5. You should visit the KJ Arting page to learn more about Kylie - http://www.kjarting.com/. She has a very interesting and fun history and I have enjoyed learning about her. And to top that off, she is an amazing artist and we are very lucky to have her sponsor with us this month. Thank you Kylie!
