Karlene D. Minea

I am an artist, I was born in Seattle, Washington 1973 from the Greenwood / Ballard area. I try to learn anything artistic I can from drawing, writing, animation, film, and music (to a degree). I am a tinkerer, I just like to be creative and see what happens. I also hold a BFA degree with many certs, and really like to get stuff done! 

Pablo Picasso: "Learn the rules like a Pro, break them like an artist!" 

Got any projects or need help with something, gimme a shout.

email me

Groups, projects, work I have been involved with include animation for Nisqually Museum, medical animation, Emotional Literacy Advocates, Women In Film stage and background assistance, illustrations for Seattle's Real Change News paper, Video edit project for Seattle Police, miscellaneous art for t-shirts, logos, character design, deli style menu boards and posters, etc. I spent about two years working for a sign company out of Seattle, then worked 8 years for an engineering / graphics firm in Seattle. I currently work as a merchandiser and I am pulling together a few personal book, animation, film, and music projects and look forward to continue to be a freelance artist at best. 

Suspect, witness, victim, missing person..... bones.... bones...... bones!
My current study is forensic sketch and facial reconstruction. 
What did you see? What did they look like? What can these bones tell us?

This is my Jane Doe portrait, I used the police sketch technique in which I pulled together 5 female vintage Australian prisoner pictures, picked a feature from each and used that feature as a form of description to complete a mock witness interview. 

This is like creating another Mona Lisa. 
It took me about 45 minutes to complete the sketch. The comic style is a flare of artistic touch, using the mono chromatic scheme with red.
