Kennon was born in a small north Texas town in 1971. He spent his early days drawing pictures of dinosaurs and running around in the woods. His Mom fueled his creative aspirations by bribing him to see Star Wars with comic books and taking him to see a Kiss concert all within a year of his seventh birthday. Since graduating from the Art Institute of Houston in 1992, Kennon has contributed his work to a variety of mediums including: animation, TV commercial storyboards, online animated shorts, fantasy roleplaying game illustration, concept design, children's book illustration, and CD jacket illustration. Kennon enjoys reading, video games, coffee, art, beer, talk radio, working out, rafting and writing about himself in the third person while waiting for football season to start. He currently resides in Hutto,TX with his dog, cat and goldfish.
