Kimberleigh Ann Keister
Kimberleigh Ann Keister is a Reagan worshiping Republican furry artist best known for her rampant art theft in the furry fandom. She also breeds genetically defective Siberian Huskies, as well as shows them in competitions in the California area. She was born Nov. 17, 1976, which means she is 35 years old, and still behaves like a 14 year old. Kim presently wallows through her pathetic existence at the Sunset Gardens Apartments (a low-income public housing project for seniors and people with disabilities) in Gilroy, California. It's ok though guys, the reason she spells so bad isn't because she's mentally retarded, it's because she's Japanese.
Due to her particular behavior, she has become known under several nicknames, including KAK, Kimmah, Kimmaugh, KOOK, HamBeast, or the KAK-Beast.

STEAL ALL OF THE ARTS
Kim made her first foray onto the internet at large when she showed up on Road Rovers forums and messageboards in late 1999, where she often participated in art trades, forum conversation, and other social activities. For a while, she got along amicably with most members, and eventually she became acquaintances with Kylen Miles, a popular artist in the Road Rovers fandom and animation student at Loyola Marymount University. Kim was clearly deeply inspired by Kylen, and soon began to rip off Kylen's sub-par art in several ways, including creating characters that closely resembled Kylen's as well as copying Kylen's drawings and passing them off as her own. Because the Road Rovers fandom was small and tight-knit, Kim was quickly discovered and subsequently admonished by many members of the community for her actions. However, despite that she was ostracized from the community for her actions, Kim continued to trace artwork not only from the Road Rovers, but also from the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, as well as The Lion King fanart.
In Kim's own words, this is what happened:
In a statement issued by Kylen Myles on her website, Silabub.com, we find that not only did Kim harass Kylen, but that her family suffered The Beast as well. This eventually lead to Kylen's brother Cory having to take out a restraining order against Kim just to get some peace from her constant badgering. Kim was also banned from the LMU campus for stalking Kylen while she was enrolled there. Kim likes to claim that she was a LMU student, and that she had to leave the college due to stalking by Kylen. In fact, Kylen had to drop out of school due to financial and medical issues, but of course Kim twisted that to her own ends.
Herrassment [sic]
With growing disagreement between herself and the Road Rovers community for harassment and art theft, Kim quickly became estranged from them. She took to criticizing its members through several mediums, including message boards, LiveJournals, and newsgroups. At this point, she claimed that Kylen Miles had actually copied her art, and that Kylen was stalking her due to jealousy of being beaten at an art show. Later she would use this same bait-and-switch tactic on other artists, even going so far as to include a 'Wall of Shame' page on her personal GeoCities website, Wintermist Studios, to call out people she felt copied her own art.
Aside from Kylen, of Kim's favorite targets in the Road Rovers fandom is Matt Daily, AKA Convoy, whom at the time was underage and living with his parents. Kim became infatuated with Convoy, and eventually began claiming that they were dating and then later that they were engaged and that she was pregnant with his child. However, all of this was completely constructed by Kim, as Convoy not only lived on the other side of the United States, but had never met Kim in real life. Finally, after Kim began calling Convoy's home repeatedly, his parents stepped in and barred him from the internet. At that time Kim laid claim to Convoy's Road Rover fan character and began claiming that it was copyrighted to her. Much later, Kim claimed that it was in fact the other way around - that Convoy had made unwanted advances toward her and she only contacted his parents when it got out of hand.
During the turmoil between herself and the Road Rovers fandom, Kim also made several false identities to contact various members. Despite creating realistic sounding names for these sock puppets, Kim was always found out due to her consistent spelling and grammar mistakes.
Banned 4 Life From Everywhere
Kim is purportedly banned for life from Elfwood for Elfwood for plagiarism and other violations.
Kim was suspended from the VCL at the start of 2005 for her persistent complaints about the site and the "internet rules" it was breaking. The ban was later upgraded to permanent after threats of sexual harassment charges were made to Ch'marr. As of May 2006 this has been the only exception to the VCL's policy of "no permanent bans". In retaliation, Kim made several attempts to sully Ch'marr's name, including posting to her LiveJournal that he had been arrested for child pornography.
Kim was banned from Side7 for identity theft, intellectual property theft, harassment and subsequent rejoinings after her initial ban.
Kim was banned from FurAffinity in early 2006, after fabricating a story in which, as she claimed, "dedicated hackers" were constantly hijacking her account and posting dozens of new posts in what would have been the span of five minutes. She threatened the site's administrators with legal action through the FBI's "Special Internet Crime Department" and was banned from the site after IP logs of her account activity proved that no one but herself had accessed the account since its creation.
Kim has been banned from deviantART under several usernames (detailed below).
As retaliation to her bans, Kim created numerous groups and profiles in an attempt to defame the administrators and members of the sites she was removed from, including: Furry Art Thief Police on Yahoo! Group, KAK_Police, pedifile_in_vcl, and vcl_pedophilia.
As for Kim's art, it speaks for itself:
Wintermist Productions on Portal of Evil
The controversy caused by Kim's actions reached a fever pitch when her site, "Wintermist Productions", was featured on Portal of Evil in March 2002. The Wintermist Productions subforum on PoE was consistently active, and when Portal of Evil finally closed its doors, the Wintermist section was one of the largest sub-forums ever hosted there at over 15,600 posts spanning 18 pages of threads.
At that time, the most informative (however now out of date) source of information on Kim is the "The Kimmah Primer: A Guide for Newbies to the World of Kimmah" written by JockoJones on Portal of Evil.
Kim herself has appeared in the PoE forum at least once to argue with the people criticizing her site. While a number of impersonators claiming to be her also helped to feed the drama surrounding her, many of them were never substantially proven to actually be Kim herself.
G.I. Joe
Aside from furry, Kim has turned up in several other fandoms in which she exhibited actions similar to what she displayed with the Road Rovers and Furry fandom. In particular, Kim was quite active in the G.I. Joe fandom. Just a few of the antics that Kim got up to in this fandom are: copious lying, threatening lawsuits, claiming 'background checks' on several members, and even at one point completely copying another fan, Medic's, entire fanpage and then accusing Medic of copying from her.
Kim's character obsession from G.I. Joe is 'Shipwreck', which leads us to...
Kim has also shown up on several websites and mailing lists for the United States Navy. She was banned from the AirWarriors.com forum, as well as was shunned from the 'NavalAviation' mailing list on Yahoo for constantly trying to find a date. Kim has also made claims that she was dating (and later married and has children with) a man that is in the Navy or Air Force (this has changed back and forth over time). The only definite proof of any of these claims that has turned up are a few photos of Kim with an older man, proving that at least one she has come into contact with a male and not immediately destroyed his soul.
Animal Control Officer
Keister has also shown herself on a community for animal control officers, ACO Fun Stop, by first registering an account under the name 'KeepItWegging' and then later as 'FleaBag'. At some point while posting on this forum, Kim made a new enemy in user 'tomhato', as she mentions this person several times on her current webpage accusing them of physical assaults and stalking. It is currently unknown what has spurned this random hatred.
'Wintermist’s Salido Crow', aka the Shunt Husky
When she's not spewing walls of badly-formatted text at someone on the internet, Kim breeds and shows her Siberian Huskies. After going out and purchasing a bitch, Lassky's Shining Shelleigh (or Shelleigh, AKC registration number: WP35057801), Kim began her very own backyard dog breeding business. She bred Shelleigh to a dog called CH. Chyndadn's Archangel C.G.C (or Niko, from 'Chyndadn Kennels', AKC registration number: WP74962204), and the litter was born on May 19, 1999 and produced puppies. Niko was neutered in 1999, shortly after the birth of Kim’s litter – his first and only litter. Niko’s owner says that the pups “produced some genetic problems that I couldn’t, as an ethical & responsible breeder, continue in my lines”. However, she goes on to say that she has “no control over what happened to the puppies resulting from this unfortunate breeding and the breeder of this litter has chosen to continue these lines by showing & breeding these afflicted puppies”. Of the puppies born from this litter, the only one of note was Wintermist’s Salido Crow, also known as Wolf (AKC registration number: WP 92962404).
Wolf, you see, almost died as a puppy but was saved by the valorous work of the veterinarians Dr. Carla Salido and Dr. Stephen Crow, after which Kim named 'Wolfie'. Wolf was born with a kidney shunt - a passage between two natural body channels - and as such had a 'dead kidney' that had to be removed else he would die. This is the genetic problems mentioned by Niko's breeder, and the reason why Nico was neutered. However, Kim, being ever the enterprising individual, decided that instead of neutering Wolf, she would instead breed him (and thus pass on the chance of severe genetic issues that could result in death.)
There is an excellent run-down on Wolf's show record on Kimmaugh.com.
Continuing online presence
If you find KAK's online batshittery, SCREENCAP THE HELL OUT OF THAT SHIT. She is known to delete every trace of her online existence after realizing she's been discovered. |
Kim's over-exaggerating has cast considerable doubts on many of her claims of accomplishment. In the past she has described herself as: an animator with ties to the Walt Disney corporation and DreamWorks, having completed a B.S. degree in 4 years a marine biologist, a genies [sic, in the Navy, in the ROTC, becoming a veterinarian, a law enforcement officer, and a 'psych doctor' in training.
Kim's current claim of occupation is 'Professional Dog Handler'. However, she baaweleted all of the pages on this site upon finding out that people knew about it, so here is a handy screencap gallery of the pages.
Kim still continues to be active on the internet, maintaining several separate webpages hosted on Webs and Blogger, and occasionally leaving derogatory comments on people's pages on Furaffinity.
Kimberleigh Ann Keister was active again on deviantART in mid-2012, despite her previous supposed 'lifetime' bans, with username MysticWavesAnnLeigh, and she spends most of her time on DeviantART leaving rude comments and "trolling" artists. It is also clear based on comments from the accounts, that despite her ban, Kim is back and active on FurAffinity as user Yuki-san-gwd, and potentially many other accounts currently unidentified. At some point previous to December 2010 Dragoneer was alerted to her new presence by Matt Daily, as evidenced by notes leaked during the great FA hack of 2010, however no action has yet been taken against many of her accounts.
Kim has most recently brought attention to herself online by creating several websites on Webs.com, including one that means to 'set the facts straight' about her, purportedly created by her mother Barbara. Based on the consistent spelling and grammar errors, this page is actually authored by Kim herself, and this is not the first time she has pretended to be her own mother online. On this website, she targets not only the previously mentioned 'tomahto' from the ACO Funstop forums, but also 'Banrai' as well, whom she claims must certainly be Volk as well as Gore, the original creators of Kimmaugh.com. Kim has since deleted the information on this page, but thankfully it was screencapped (see image to the right).
This is not the first time that Keister has made Banrai a target, in 2007 Keister began judiciously defacing several articles on Wikifur related to Banrai. Further edits to Banrai's article by Kim added that Kim had at some point filed for a restraining order against Banrai due to 'slander hate art'. None of these claims, of course, are true. Keister has also recently contacted Banrai several times via e-mail with a pre-written statement that was subsequently posted to other forums where Kim was being discussed. Along with the short rant now posted about Banrai on Kim's site, she also left a comment on the post she links at the beginning, 'The Banrai Files', in which she claims that Banrai is in fact a Kim Keister impersonator, and that everything that was on Gore and Volk's website, Kimmaugh.com, was made up by Banrai to tarnish Kim's reputation. The post that Banrai references in the first email is from a Road Rovers LiveJournal community, rrfans, alerting community members to the existence of a newer repository of information on Kim.
Kim has further shown her ignorance by posting on the Wordpress forums about the new incarnation of Kimmaugh.com, where she states that she believes 'Andrea Brooke' is behind the website, and further goes on to state:
KYRescue.com: Copy And Paste Is Backyard Breeding
At some point, Kim got involved in the persecution of a backyard breeder in Kentucky called 'Laura Pope'. All research points to this individual being a legitimate horrible person (even more horrible than Kim, if you can believe that's possible), and Kim of course began a crusade against them because she is a warrior for Doggy Justice™. KYRescue.webs.com was created by the same account that owns the page mentioned above, 'KimberleighAnnKeisterTheTruth' - the account called KimLover. You'll notice if you go to the link that the site is suspiciously devoid of much text, even though the full page hierarchy is set up - but she does have a couple photo galleries set up and they are populated. Interesting enough, this photo of the dog called 'Kiya' shows up on a Google Image search of the photo, and leads to Kiya's Page from the owner/breeder of the dog. There is suspiciously little about this dog ever being in the possession of a backyard breeder there, but other evidence shows maybe she was (that's neither here nor there, and has nothing to do with Kim). Either way, though, further searching around finally reveals that this Webs page is, in fact, completely lifted - from the original (but now defunct)KYRescue.com website. It is widely believed that at this point Kim also lived in Kentucky for a period, based on many posts in her Livejournal that mentioned being there as well as IP addresses matching being from the state. It is unknown if she lived there or was just visiting.
Still A Threat To Animals
Kim seems to still have delusions about being an Animal Control Officer, and maintains a blog about her 'job' called It's All About The Animals!!!!. She also has a YouTube channel where she posts videos of animals that she's 'befriended' - most are of strays on the street. Based on her strange obsession with bestiality, it is believed by some that Kim might be taking in dogs off the street and using them for her own nefarious pleasures, since the only known man to have come into contact with her has never been heard from again.
