Kev Speck — Surrey, UK

Ambition and enthusiasm can take you a long way—just ask Kev Speck, who is living the dream as a full-time freelance illustrator.

London lad Kev Speck’s style fuses collaged photographs and lazy, free-hand tracings with layered textures to create beautiful, heavily detailed illustrations. The acceleration of his career has been “surreal” (in his own words), but he aspires to raise his game with every single image.
