Kelly Knopp
Swell Artist Collective's Kelly Knopp is an illustrator who has built a successful career as a graphic designer, and has been published locally and internationally in various forms; everything from beer labels and snowboards to children's books, illustrations, and apps. He first realized an attraction to art as a 6th grader in Riverside, California, and soon discovered an innate talent. Armed with a keen imagination and creative skill, he developed his own style through nontraditional ways and means, guided by trial and error. Primarily working in pen and ink and digital graphic design, Knopp also has a lot of fun experimenting with murals, wood, and other medias. His process begins as a concept, often times starting with a pencil sketch. He may ink the design as well, and perhaps finish the elements digitally. Knopp’s work is strange and unexpected, inspired by the narrative of everyday life happenings and personal experiences. Knopp resides in Boise, Idaho, where he is a co-owner of Swell Artist Collective.
