About Kevin, a.k.a. Bearded Artist
Kevin is an award-winning photorealistic pencil artist specializing in drawings that will BLOW YOUR MIND!
Pencil and paper was all Kevin’s mother needed to get him to sit still when he was a child. He could draw for HOURS on end.
“If Mom ran out of paper and pencil, she had to put me on a leash!” (True story)
Drawing has been a through line for Kevin’s whole life. He believes self-competition is the only relevant competition and promises to keep honing his skills as long as he can hold a pencil.
Kevin has been drawing professionally since 2012 and full-time since 2017.
Bearded Artist drawings are completed with 2b pencil and color pencil. They contain so much detail because of the myriad of techniques he uses.

Artist's Statement
My life has been consumed by feeling I do not belong. I am an athlete who doesn’t respond well to coaching, a student who only excels on my own time, and a loner surrounded by many acquaintances and few friends. Human connection is a struggle for me, even though people who know me argue the counterpoint. Drawing is the only through line to my life that has consistently enhanced my human connection, and that is why I create the art I create today.
