BECAUSE SO MUCH OF THIS WORLD is troubled, confused, and frightened, I create fun, simple pictures and stories to help people see clearly, think about things in new ways, and talk together.

Like so many of us, the first drawings I ever scratched out were done with a box of Crayons. I sat in mom and dad's laps and drew all the familiar, childish pictures of the family dog, flowers, birds, and volcanos as my parents told me stories.

The artist's role in life has always seemed to me to be like that of the mad scientist. An artist is constantly experimenting, figuring out new ways to touch people by putting together colors, shapes, feelings, and sometimes even fire. If you could see into my personal 'lab,' over the years, you'd see everything from watercolors to rock bands, crayons to poetry.

In this site, I've chosen my favorite art mediums that have worked very well on paper, canvas, and in print. So, there are a lot of paintings, drawings, scratchboard illustrations, all represented under 'art,' and displayed for quick, easy viewing.

As a writer, I've also included the most current and exciting stories and poems that I'm writing, illustrating, or both, under 'stories.' Here, there is a link to kevinsbookshop.com, a new site dedicated to my writing and illustration available in print and online now.
