I grew up in Florida hunting giant squids and dinosaurs. Over the years these ancient creatures started disappearing, leaving only visions and memories of those once great adventures.

Having moved across the country and back, I have been able to build a collection of stories based on these adventures creating artwork of epic creatures, cute characters, and their mysterious descent into the darkness. While my characters may look cute and innocent, they usually have somewhat of a dark side to them.

I have been working in the game industry for 17 years, but my passion is illustration, telling stories through my imagery and characters. My artwork has been compared to that of Maurice Sendak, Tim Burton, and Edward Gorey, which you can often see on display at Gallery 1988, in Los Angeles, during many of their gallery shows during the year.

Up next is Ellie Not Forgotten, my first graphic novel. It has been in development for a few years now and is close to completion. The overall story deals with themes of depression, anxiety, and grief with hopes to help those that deal with these issues on a daily basis. To get an early look at how it is developing, please head over to my Patreon site where you can follow the journey for $1 a month: http://www.patreon.com/keithnoordzy You will get to see rough layout sketches, concept designs of characters, locations, etc. and are welcome to comment and share your thoughts on the process so far.

Currently looking for representation and available for full-time, contract work and gallery showing opportunities.
