Ken Perkins - Illustrator / Concept Artist

While waiting for the computer to be invented, Ken began to draw a lot. There weren't electrical outlets either so fistfuls of pigment from the earth, graphite and watercolor were his prime media.

These days on the Mac G5 with two JATO Rockets, Ken's a Digital Addict!! He's Illustrated seriously and not so seriously for Kraft Foods, GE, IBM, Black & Decker, Fisher-Price, Disney, Mattel and many others. The young fellah has also Conceptualized his share of CD ROM Games for Vivendi Universal Games and Knowledge Adventure.

Presently Ken is Illustrating two colorful Children's Books and some Music CD Covers.
