Keith grew up around the west coast of Scotland, and as a child loved
drawing from a very young age. Through high school he continued to experiment
with different materials and techniques. Eventually trying his hand at most
of the traditional methods available. Ranging from watercolour painting,
to charcoal drawing, to pencil and pastel sketching and graphic design.
In addition to his love of drawing, he also developed a keen interest
in cinema. So decided to combine both passions, and progressed to art college
and a degree at The Surrey Institute of Art & Design. Where he specialised in
traditional animation.
After graduating from art school, he was lucky enough to immediately secure a job in London
- with a newly established post-production company. Where he found himself in the deep
end of the fast paced world of video editing; and realising the diligent work ethic that is needed
to become a editor. Having to quickly learn on the job, everything about the meticulous
craft of piecing together sound and images. Where he assisted the editors, helping to assemble a broad range of different television programmes, documentaries, promos and videos.
Eventually emerging several years later, much wiser in his experience of the 'glamorous' world of
television. He realised that he had not been using his creativity to it's best potential.
So he returned to illustration and went freelance as a Storyboard Artist. With his invaluable
knowledge of editing proving fundamental to the storyboarding process.
Keith now works across a broad range of different types of media. Creating a diverse range of
artwork for feature films, television and commercials. This has involved working alongside
many talented Directors, Producers, Cinematographers, Production Designers, Art
Directors, 2nd Unit Directors, Stunt Coordinators and VFX Supervisors. On a variety of productions
both large scale and small, across the UK and internationally.
Clients include:
Netflix, Amazon Studios, Ridley Scott Associates, Marvel Studios, BBC,
Apple TV+, FX Productions, Channel 4, Left Bank Pictures, Millenium Films,
Black Label, Stink, Academy Films, Google, ITV, DNA Films
