ConCarolinas welcomes Kevin Graham as 2018 Artist Guest of Honor
Kevin Graham (born 1970) is an American artist best known for his Star Wars and Disney art.
Kevin was born and graduated high school in Rhode Island. In 1989, Kevin moved from Rhode Island to Pennsylvania.
Kevin is 100% self-taught. His early inspirations were gleaned from every aspect of art, with Frank Frazetta, Vincent Van Gogh and early traditional animators as major influences.
As a young artist, Kevin spent his free time studying every form, medium and style of art. Out of all the different styles of art, Kevin focused mostly on animation art and aspired to one day work for Disney Fine Art.
In his later years, with the boom of the Internet, Kevin started sharing his art on many social media platforms. With encouragement from many other artists and fans of his work, Kevin approached Topps Trading Card Company. He was hired by Topps and has done artwork for them featuring The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Heroes, Halo, MLB, NBA and many other subjects.
While working for Topps, Kevin was approached by other companies including Upper Deck, Rittenhouse, Breygent, and others. Subjects included characters from Dr. Who, Ray Harryhausen, The Wizard of Oz, Dexter, Marvel/Iron Man, Hammer Horror and DC Comics.
Kevin owns a multimedia/art design company (GrahamArt Productions) that has produced art for many big companies including freelancing for Lucasfilm, ACME Archives, Chuck Jones Warner Brothers and Disney from 2006 on. He has done artwork for celebrities, singers, actors, and even a former president of the United States and his wife. Kevin’s artwork has been in galleries world wide including exhibits for Rankin/Bass, Hanna-Barbera, Jay Ward Tribute & Tiki Tunes to just name a few.
Kevin currently resides in Pennsylvania with his wife and 3 sons. When not spending time with his family, Kevin spends every waking hour working on his art, hoping it enriches other peoples’ lives as it does his.
