She Gets It She Gets It
One thing that really stands out about Kazilla is the
fact that she gets it, the proverbial ‘it’ being the idea that all
artists should bond together. She understands the value
of community, which is why she is so supportive of
other local artists and so passionate about the collective
success of the local arts community. It’s also why she’s
always been so supportive of WeMerge Magazine. After
we put one of her pieces of art in our 4th issue’s “Who’s
Next Gallery” she began promoting the magazine
to her vast network of artists and friends, which then
earned her a full page feature in our 5th issue, an issue
she began promoting to the point where she almost
seemed like one of our distributors. She is exactly what
our magazine looks for, an artist who sees the two-way
street that is mutual promotion. With plans to curate her
fist show at The American Legion in the Miami Modern
District during Art Basel this year, as well as shows
with WST Worldwide (WSTworldwide.com) Kazilla is
about to ascend to a whole new level of collaboration –
and success.
Good luck Kazilla. We wish you the best. From All Your Friends at WeMerge
The Future for Kazilla
The Future For Kazilla
“I have a bunch of projects lined up. The first thing I’m
working on is my art autobiography. I’m also working
on a photography book and a series of art books. The
photography book I have is rural New Mexico, so I plan
on having the art foundation of Santa Fe fund me and
publish the book. And then, I have short film. I have a
product line… and an animation I’m collaborating on
with friends… plus a comic book… coloring books.
I’m also doing a book called ‘Art Beats’ that will come
with a CD that will have wallpapers for your computer,
and 6 or 7 music tracks that I’ve produced.”
In addition to all of Kazilla’s entrepreneurial projects
and free spirited endeavors, she somehow found the
time - as well as the loans, grants, and scholarships - get
an education at The Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale,
where she will be graduating from in December, with
a Bachelors of Science degree in Illustration. She’ll
eventually go back for her Masters of Fine Art, which
the school will pay for once she switches from part time
to full time at her job at the school bookstore.
Kazilla’s future also includes a trip to New York
City, where she will be meeting with several gallery
curators, applying for an internship with MTV’s design
studios, and meeting with some alumni from the
Society of Illustrators. She will even be meeting with
Yuko Shimizu, the creator of Hello Kitty.
