Dinodystopia (and I'm now on Tumblr)!

This is my contribution to our latest Avalanche Blog topic "Dinodystopia."  The Avalanche Blog has moved to Tumblr, so I've decided to get a Tumblr account too.  I'll still be posting to this blog but if you'd rather follow me on Tumblr, do so here: kkeeleart.tumblr.com

Chalk the Block 2014!

This has become something I look forward to all year.  So much fun!  Thanks to my old man, my little brother, and his wife for being such great collaborators!

Ezekeele

American frontiersman, conqueror, inventor, pioneer, demigod (don't worry if you don't get it, it's an inside joke with my brothers).  Special thanks to my bro. Jake for reminding us of his greatness through a fireside ballad.

Odysseus (and all six heads of Scylla)

This is the second cover I've done for the Myth-O-Mania series.  I love Greek mythology and these have been so much fun to do.  You can buy the book here.

The Castle Behind Thorns

A cover I did for a book by Merrie Haskell who has a knack for coming up with exceptional imagery that is really fun to paint!  Check out the book here.

This was a commissioned by an awesome guy up in the great country of Canada.  He framed it and hung it on his wall, making me feel like a totally cool, real, and actual artist!  Thanks Mark!

Grave Images

When I was offered this job I was swamped with work but found myself physically incapable of saying no to a girl in a graveyard image.  This was a lot of fun!  The book is by Jenny Goebel and may be purchased here.

Friend Illustrations - October and December

I'm always so excited to get a job from the Friend Magazine.  The designers and art directors are awesome and these two paintings, like all the images I do for them, were very fun and fulfilling.

This is the second cover I did for the Hardy Boys Adventures series.  Check it out here.

Helen of Troy - Strucketh by Cupid

 This is the cover I worked on for Hit the Road, Helen!, a book in the Myth-O-Mania series.  They're these fun, modern retellings of old Greek myths and stories.  Check it out here.

Lord and Lady Zombie

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

I finished the male one a while ago and posted it last year.  Now he has a companion with which to decompose.

The Bird Man

This is the piece I did as a demo for the Photoshop Power Day with Will Terry.  It was a lot of fun, I made some new friends and I think the painting turned out cool.
