As of this writing, Ken Meyer Jr. has just moved back to Savannah with his wife Mona, 10 year old daughter Riley, and 4 year old daughter Avery, after living here as a child. He's been reading comics since he was a kid, which is where he first started to learn how to draw, by first tracing from them in his grandmother's kitchen. He still reads a few comics, but they have drifted in subject matter from the superheroes of his youth to more alternative fare.
A few artists who have influenced the artist (from comics) include John
Buscema, Barry Smith, Berni Wrightson, Dave Sim, Steve Rude, Dave McKean, Gil Kane and others. Commercial artists that continue to inspire Ken include Rick Berry, Phil Hale, Gary Kelley, Kazuhiko Sano, Brad Holland, David Grove and many others.
Ken has done work for comics companies Marvel, Dark Horse, Eclipse, Image, and Caliber Press (where he worked on a continuing title, "Kilroy is Here"). Other work includes Axcess magazine, mainstream companies such as McGraw Hill, work on military training, corporate training and educational media.
He also had a two year stint at Sony Online working as an artist on the popular online game,
Everquest. He has had work featured in five volumes of "Spectrum," a juried compilation of the best fantasy and science fiction art of the year and musician Tori Amos' '96/97 Tour's program book.
Recent projects include two Tori Amos RAINN benefit calendars, art for DVD packages, educational media illustration and a poster for Bell Helmets. He also had a gallery in the July 2004 issue of Heavy Metal Magazine.Ken has just started back to school (at
SCAD) to try to finish his degree, majoring in illustration.
