Kevin Hastings was drawn to and surrounded by art from a tender age, and has found that pencil, charcoal and paper have consistently been his best method of artistic expression. Using nothing more than the delicate blend of light and shadow across the surface of a page, Kevin converses in the language of art--the stories and emotions that bind people together through appreciation of the visual and aesthetic. Born of Wes Funk's literary talent and Kevin's visual art, a partnership was formed to create Dead Rock Stars, the illustrated edition. Kevin feels exceptionally blessed by the love and support of family and friends, and holds enormous respect, admiration, and gratitude for all the other artists, and patrons of the arts who have made living his dream a reality.
