I'm sorry to hear that artist Ron Tiner has passed away. We collaborated on a short series I wrote for Oink! back in 1988 so I've written a piece about him on my blog today.

Last of the launch illustrations for the Kirkby Unemployment Centre project (for now). This one is about a wood-chip factory that was polluting the local area in the early 2000s (hence the dead fish) - and the protest campaign the KUC coordinated in response.

Another launch image for the Kirkby Unemployment Centre project. This one depicts a march - protesting against the closure of a local manufacturing plant, which took place on a very wet day in 1994.

Launch images made for an oral history project I'm working on with Dr Greig Campbell, about Kirkby Unemployment Centre and the anti-unemployment campaigns they spearheaded throughout the 80s and 90s.

Hi!

Here is a quick reminder that I am still Kevin Ketner, comic book editor for just about a decade, having worked on several Eisner-nominated projects, and I am currently without a job!

I am looking for freelance and/or full-time editing work. I promise I'm cool!
