Kevin Dart’s Summary

Illustrator with an emphasis on graphic design. I began as a 3D character artist for video games, and over 2 years was mentored by Jeff Haynie who taught me how to draw and paint. Eventually I gained enough skills to pursue illustration full-time and I moved to Los Angeles, where I have done work for clients like Cartoon Network Europe, Disney Television, and Gama-Go. Most recently I finished a job doing background designs on the BBC Olympics "Monkey" spot. I also sell books and prints through Fleet Street Scandal, a company that I own and operate with my friend Chris Turnham. This summer I will be releasing a new book, "Seductive Espionage: The Art of Yuki 7", with a coinciding show at Gallery Nucleus.
