Artist Keith Thomson creates multimedia art with wit, humor, and ingenuity. He began his artistic career as a political cartoonist in the 90's, an influence that manifested in the sharp storytelling of his artwork. In 2016, following his children's retirement from baseball, he stepped down as a little league coach. "This gave me an immense amount of free time, which promptly led me to pursue painting," shares Keith. His portfolio consists of social realism commentaries and presents scenarios with a surreal and sometimes ironic twist. He begins his work as digital sketches using animation software, then transfers them onto a surface before painting. He practices his art in the comfort of his kitchen, accompanied by oil paints, brushes, and a portable easel. His faithful golden retriever, Trouser, is always by his side and ends up with a streak of blue paint on its fur. Apart from painting, he writes spy novels and nonfiction articles.
