I’m Kev Myers, a freelance character illustrator and mad-crazed creative based in Kansas City, Missouri. I bring illustrative design solutions to clients who want a universe-conquering hero, delivering vibrant characters, branded visuals, and engaging artwork across comics, education, apps, and games. Past projects include HBOMAX’s That Damn Michael Che, AMC KidsPak rollout, and designing 400+ avatars and onboarding screens for a Google social network concept. I’ve also delivered vector art for T-Mobile, published work in Image Comics, and illustrated children’s books and activity materials for Carson Dellosa Education.
