ABOUT KIRK

Kirk stumbled into illustration after graduating with a degree in engineering. Raised by the internet, the first graphics he created were avatars and signatures for online forums.

It was right around the time of graduation that he realized visual art was something I actually felt passionate for.

Now, between skateboarding, chasing the dogs, and some table hockey, he spends his time making meaningful and thoughtful illustration and animation for brands and himself every day.
