Silk Mermaid » About Kim Graham
The daughter of a Montana sawyer (lumberjack), Kim began her art career in 1984 as a graphics artist for Austin game company Steve Jackson Games. She moved to Seattle, Washington in 1985. For 12 years, while working as a housekeeper, she painstakingly taught herself every part of her craft: painting, airbrush, ceramics, moldmaking, plastics casting, and steel fabrication. In 1997 she became a full-time artist, sculpting many pieces for gaming and entertainment companies such as Wizards of the Coast. The Kim Graham Studios online gallery shows some of her work.
Much technical information about molds and casting was obscure or difficult to find, so Kim had to rediscover it independently — a process she compares to learning how to build a toaster by looking at toast. Since developing her own techniques, Kim has taught her knowledge freely to every willing student, through classes, volunteer projects, and now this SilkMermaid blog.
Kim sculpts in a wide variety of media and sizes, ranging from fired clay figuratives to 22-foot dragons. In recent years she has moved away from her special effects/fantasy-based molded fiberglass work to focus on fine art sculptures: beautiful Art Nouveau-inspired plaques, busts, portraits, and even funerary urns for pets. Her current interest is large-scale architectural pieces. She seeks the holy grail of sculpting media, a nontoxic outdoor material, inexpensive to make, reasonably lightweight, and strong enough to support very large sculptures. After seven years of tests, she believes she is very close to finding it. SilkMermaid.com chronicles her ongoing tests.

Now you can have a refugee Prawn of your own! From Weta comes this awesome new collectible figure of Christopher Johnson and Son, from the Sci-Fi summer blockbuster DISTRICT 9. The figure is 1/6 scale and were sculpted by Weta sculptor David Meng. They’re are a bit pricey but for something that looks less like a figure. and more like actual production concept art, but it is well worth it. Expect to see more collectibles from DISTRICT 9 very soon.
