Hi there!
MY NAME IS KIT
I'm a UK-based comicker, illustrator and character artist with over 15 years' industry experience.
A childhood in deepest, darkest English countryside. A fascination with ghost stories, fairytales and local history. What I do these days is a broad mix of influences, encompassing historical costume and medieval design; traditional folktales and classic literature... even the films of Makoto Shinkai and FromSoft's Soulsborne games. All this lensed through the versatility of art style I picked up studying 2D animation at university.
To me, there's nothing better than a great story. It can be the one you tell across ten issues of a comic or the one told by a character's worn-out, muddy boots - both warrant equal care and passion. If that sounds of interest, why not stick around? I've got some stories to tell you...
