Artist Keith Thomson creates multimedia art with wit, humor, and ingenuity. He began his artistic career as a political cartoonist in the 90's, an influence that manifested in the sharp storytelling of his artwork. "In 2016, when my kids retired from baseball, leaving me out of work as a little league coach, I suddenly had some free time, which led me to start painting," shares Keith. His portfolio consists of social realism commentaries and presents scenarios with a surreal and sometimes ironic twist. He begins his work as digital sketches using animation software, then transfers them onto a surface before painting. When working, he is accompanied by a box of oil paint, brushes, an easel, and Trouser—his faithful golden retriever and wire hair terrier mix. Apart from painting, he writes spy novels and nonfiction articles.
