ABout the Artist
My name is Kit Collver and I'm a New England-based artist currently making a living entirely from drawing monsters and funny animal people online. I was born in 1990 and grew up drawing wolves who wore capes and were very serious, writing terrible self-insert fanfiction, and being owned by various cats*.
After firmly establishing myself as the local silent sketchbook freak in high school, I majored in Studio Art with a focus on Animation at UMass Amherst and graduated cum laude in 2012 after four years of frenzied all-nighters hunched over drawing boards and animation software. Although I mostly lived in our tiny little corner of the Fine Arts Center with a ragtag assortment of fellow animation majors, I've worked in many different mediums and my specialty has always leaned towards illustration, character design, and sequential art.
In addition to tabling at local conventions** and doing freelance commission work, I have also worked a variety of exciting and glamorous jobs in food service. Artistic employers reading this, if you ever need an illustrator who can also make you a mean caramel macchiato, you know who to call***.
* my current master is a black bean who enjoys screaming, rotisserie chicken, and staring deeply into my eyes when I need to be working.
** at least until 2020, what a year AM I RIGHT GUYS
*** i can make sandwiches too. please hire me.
