Kevin Atkins was born in Cleethorpes in 1977.

Inspired by a million early memories of cartoons and comic books, he has been drawing anything and everything for as long as he can remember.

He dreamed of pursuing his art as a full-time career (ideally in animation or comic art) but, due to various reasons, dropped out of Art College at the age of 17. As an apparent result of that decision, he never made it to university. He never got to make his dream a reality.

He spent his late teens and early twenties working menial jobs. He had basically given up on art as ‘a thing’ until he met his then-girlfriend (now wife), Louise and her daughter Savannah (then aged 5, now 24).

They were a source of encouragement and inspiration for him to pick up the pens, pencils and paintbrushes again, and his love of art began anew. 

Since then, he has created hundreds of canvases, cards, posters, designs and illustrations, has written and illustrated comic books and children’s stories, appeared on television shows, written essays and provided content for numerous websites on the subject of art, and is now (amongst many other projects) in the process of producing his first-ever short, self-animated feature film.
