There are many places on Earth that are intrinsically designed to squelch the life
from any creature that dare intrude upon their treacherous domains. One such
place is the sweltering heart of the searing desert aptly named Death Valley. From
these scorched, barren landscapes strode a man. A man who survived the
planet's brutal assault through his sheer force of will and unconquerable
determination not to be added to the list of the slain. This man was NOT Kevin
West.
Kevin grew up in Chicago where the temperatures are pretty tolerable and easy to
adapt to. He studied art at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana (where
the sun always shines day or night). After a couple of advertising layout jobs, he
decided to embark on the endless thrills of the freelancer. He has worked on a
variety of projects over the years that have included video games, story-boards,
designing various Christmas and Halloween products (ornaments, stockings,
door panels and animated figures), illustrating children's books, theater posters
and programs, character design, coloring books and of course, comics. Since
1991 he has done work for Marvel, DC, Wildstorm, Malibu, Acclaim, Disney and
several smaller independent companies. His most recent work has been on
Majestic, Blue Beetle, Nightmare on Elm Street and Gen13. He is currently be held
captive by a nine and a ten year old in a western suburb of Chicago.
