There is a new way to buy from Inspire by Kim, catering for skiers and snowsports lovers from countries including in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. It is now possible to own some of Kim’s ski art on wall art, and a select range of products. These are printed on demand and shipped direct.

Kim’s art prints were previously only available to buy in the UK, so this new ‘print on demand’ shop makes it possible to order for delivery in many countries.

How Does It Work?

Orders print and ship from 3rd-party fulfillers worldwide. After you place your order, it’s routed to one or more 3rd-party fulfillers based on the delivery location and product types. Then the 3rd-party fulfiller prints and ships on behalf of the independent artist.

I’m keen to hear your stories about the people that have made all the difference to your skiing and snowsports. Those gems who took, or take, the time to help you, and have really contributed to your enjoyment of the sport.

I’m hoping to collect stories to inspire a body of work for exhibition later in the year.

Friendly, lovable yeti with skier and snowboarder — This illustration was sketched for a commission that didn’t come off, but it felt important to complete this illustration.

Thanks for each story, watch this space for how the stories will be illustrated and/ or inform my work.

How The Work Was Made

I’ve been sketching a lot recently so I chose which from the pencil sketches. I picked the star character, which I originally created as a Christmas sketch, whilst trying to get ahead for Christmas 2023.

Once happy with the pencil sketches, characters and proportions I got set up for a painting session.

Painted skier with star and pencil sketch — The painting in progress along with the original sketch and fingers to show the scale of the piece.

These fresh new illustrations were painted yesterday and today in my favourite Kuretaki watercolour paints, then finished with Duller coloured pencils and Uni-ball eye gel pens to finish.

The paints and gel pens are the key materials that I used to create the illustrations for Ski A to Z. I’m exploring some of the colours not used for the book art, and am enjoying the different hues whilst still hoping to communicate the joy and emotion of skiing.

Many thanks for your support. Please follow or subscribe to see my work as it is created. If you like Ski A to Z please share a review where you bought it, or review it on Google Books as this helps more people to know about, and be helped by the book.

Thanks in advance for any stories that you are happy to share.
