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, Gen13 The Authortity
and Modern Warfare: Ghost. He is currently being held captive by his two teenagers in a
western suburb of Chicago.
