Hello, I'm Kevin Jacobs.

Kevin Jacobs was born in North Hollywood​,​ CA 1964. Kevin is primarily a self-taught fine artist and graphic designer. Kevin had minimal formal training​,​ despite attending Los Angeles Valley College and the Otis Parsons School of Design in the late 1980s. While in college​,​ he was introduced to the medium of printmaking​,​ where he created etchings and many monotypes. Kevin would later work as a printmaker's assistant at a fine arts printmaking studio in North Hollywood​,​ CA. That’s where he honed his printmaking skills and expressive atmospheric monotypes. It's his experience with early printmaking that has refined his present style of artwork today. In the late 1990s​,​ Kevin established himself as a commercial graphic designer working as an art director in the remote control hobby industry. Later​,​ he established his graphic design studio​,​ Firestarter Graphics. This new discipline as a graphic designer refined Kevin’s fine art even further with his dynamic compositions​,​ detailed line work​,​ bold shapes​,​ and unique expressive style. Kevin’s present work is a diverse selection of media​,​ such as painting​,​ drawings​,​ relief sculptural paintings​,​ dioramas​,​ collages​,​ and assemblages. Kevin’s work has been exhibited in galleries throughout the United States​,​ along with being featured in several art publications and journals. Kevin resides in Southern California with his blue heeler dog​,​ Billie.
