Kenneth Anderson is an illustrator and character designer based in the UK. He has worked in games development, animation, and character and set design for children's television shows, in addition to illustration work. He has fond childhood memories of playing games like Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle, reading Calvin and Hobbes and watching Ninja Turtles and Wallace and Gromit. He channels these early influences into his work, focusing on creating story- and character-driven pieces with a bit of humor and some occasional wackiness to boot. Kenneth lives in Glasgow, UK.
