Kelvin Ross
I’ve been exposed to a thriving art scene as a lifelong resident of the San Francisco Bay Area (City of Richmond). My eclectic tastes are depicted through my cartoons, graphic novels, paintings and divergence into fantasy. My life experiences, casual conversations and politics are fodder for my curiosity, as my artistic soul remains hungry for places where my art could live, all the while, traversing various mediums.
I find a myriad of inspirations from my experiences, passions, and perceptions, as catalysts for me to create and engage with others.
