Kim Sokol wrote a blog post titled Recent Work:
Kim said, "I’ve been neglecting this blog… a lot of that’s to blame on the lure of the various social-media type places I’ve been posting; in comparison, blogging feels like shouting into the void, uncertain if anybody’s even..." more

Kim Sokol wrote a blog post titled A Dryad in Winter:
Kim said, "ArtOrder’s latest challenge was all about nymphs. This is my take on the topic – the two major inspirations here were the idea of a dryad as a siren, luring men to their doom, and the giant mess of snow we got over the holidays."

Kim Sokol wrote a blog post titled Paladin & Cleric:
Kim said, "Fell off the earth for a bit post-GenCon… most of what I’ve done since has either been work I can’t show yet, or studies and the like. Lots of studies in the CA sketchbook thread, and the work I can’t show yet will be up..." more

Kim Sokol wrote a blog post titled Saranya & Crowcatcher:

Kim Sokol wrote a blog post titled Supernatural (Also, Fan Expo):
Kim said, " Supernatural has become one of my favourite shows, despite a weak first couple of seasons, a recent season hovering somewhere over the shark, and an inherent goofiness that its endless angst can’t seem to shake. Of course, I’m always..." more

Kim Sokol wrote a blog post titled Old & New:
Kim said, " Kimsokol.com has relaunched! It still needs a couple of tweaks, and five images isn’t much of a portfolio, but I’d rather have a 5-image portfolio up than a dozen-image portfolio in a style I don’t actually want to use, and..." more
