Kirk Harris
Artist
United States
I've been doing freelance illustration since 1991, when I'd decided that, by nook, or crook, I was going to pursue a career in art. I'd been doing music industry-related works for about 10 years, when I'd decided to pursue my first love, comics. It's what I love to do, and by any means necessary, that goal will be achieved. I enjoy the comraderie that we, as artists share. Non-artists/creators are a rare, special clique that many others secretly envy. How many times have you heard,"I used to draw...", "I wish I could do that...", or the ever-uttered, "If I was YOU, I would..."...I'm sure you catch my drift. I'm looking to build, learn from, and have fun with all of those whom I've deemed my family, and my door's ALWAYS open for new fam, as well as my mind being open for critiques, & kudos. Not only do I love what I do, I love what YOU do!
