Kevin Mellon - Sequential Artist

Empty Room Studios Members

Name: Kevin Mellon
Age: Not yet old enough to know better.
Height: Taller than some, shorter than others.
Weight: Enough to make you jealous.
Grew up in and around Missouri, went to the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art from 1999-2002. Still miss New York like crazy. Kinda messed around for a few years after getting burnt out at school, then decided to make a serious go at having a career in comics. Signed with a publisher for my first real project, GearHead, in January 2006, it started coming out in January 2007 from Arcana Studio. I am currently working on another project for Arcana, and a book called 13 Steps for Desperado Publishing.

Hire this artist!

How long have you been an artist?

Like most of them, I've been drawing in some form since I was little, but as far as taking it seriously and trying to better myself, then since I was about 11.

What are some of your major art influences?

Formative influences were all comic book: Jim Lee, Bernie Wrightson (his Frankenstein illos), Mignola, Adam Hughes, Travis Charest. Later i got into Mucha, Krigstein, Leyendecker, etc. Now I'm more into film and television and studying things that way, and looking at real life to help form my artistic decisions.

What are some of your major genre influences?

Um... not sure how to answer this one. I'm not really into genre's, just good stories. I don't seek out any specific genre, just character driven, well dialogued stories with decent plots. That said, I do tend to avoid westerns, Star Trek, and stuff with wizards.

What sort of training/schooling/experience do you have with art?

I went all 3 years of the Joe Kubert School.

How did you become involved in Empty Room Studios?

i was at the Joe Kubert School with Jeremy Mohler for the two years he was there, and have stayed in contact with him off and on since then. Plus, it's a collection of good talent, so it's good to keep track of things like that.
