Curious: Kim Parkhurst?

[furtech]

I was telling someone about a neat online comic about a greyhound drawn by Kim Parkhurst. The name of the comic (and site) was, "Turbospud". The site is long-gone. When I Googled her names, I found nothing after about 2003. Does anyone have any idea what happened to her? Or is she just another great artist who just went *poof* and disappeared off the face of the earth?

I chatted with her in IM 2 years ago. Her real name is not Kim Parkhurst, it turns out. She is doing art professionally now and living in New England, and still rolls her eyes at Furrydom. I am not sure what happened to TurboSpud. Her IM name was monkeycarcass I do believe.

Most people (even a lot of furry fans) roll their eyes at furry fandom. Her Ebay account is still current: at this point I'm just curious as to why she stopped doing Turbospud. I guess I should just email her at her Ebay addy, but it feels awkward asking about things like that. Her current stuff is technically spiffy, but seems (to me) to lack the life that her comic work had. There are a lot of equally good artists doing the type of formal fantasy art she's now doing; no one had come close to the fun her greyhound strips achieved.
