My name is Keith James. I’m a thirty-something geek residing in Saint Paul, MN. Yes, I said geek, I've embraced who I am and proud of it! I am also an aspiring illustrator and here in DeviantArt you will find a majority of my artwork. Anyone is welcome to take a look through it.

I’ve been involved with art as long as I can remember and knew I’d be working in it since I was in kindergarten. And while it's not yet my profession, I'm working on it!

I attended The Columbus College of Art and Design where I graduated with a BFA majoring in Illustration. I have a love for superhero comic books, children’s books, science fiction/fantasy, animation, and the theatrical arts. So take a look through the galleries, I hope you like what you see!

Current Residence: Saint Paul, MN
Favourite genre of music: Rock and Broadway
Favourite style of art: Illustration: Childrens books and Comic books
Favourite cartoon character: Stich or Yakoo Warner
Personal Quote: Success doesn't taste nearly as sweet without failure as an appitizer.

Bad News

:iconthegeekcanpaint:

I'm still planning on doing the poll/survey/campaign thing to try and get my Harry Potter artwork properly published. And I'm closing in on finishing all the artwork for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". But things are going to be delayed.

See, it's been one year since my hubby and I closed on our house, and to celebrate, we got robbed.

While at work last week, someone kicked in the front door and took our computer which had alot of work on it, including all the full sized scans of my art and plotting and planning for future paintings/drawings. I'm not going to lie, the whole thing really sucks, but I'm not letting it get me down too much.

The point is, it'll be a little while before I post anything again while I get things back in order and whatnot.

When there's more to report, I will.

~ See ya in the funny papers!

Hey Keith! I just faved a lot of your older HP art that I missed (must have been drawn before I was watching you). Please forgive me for not commenting on everything, but let this the overall comment on all of it: Your art is beautiful, amazing, very full of life and the love that you have for the books shows in all of your wondrous details! :iconharrypotterlaplz:

Thats a shame, a few years ago I was able to publish a sci-fi novel and seeing how great your art was I was going to ask if I could comission you to create some images to better promote it. Good luck with promoting your own art!
