about kingZog


Self-portrait

kingZog is an artist of the macabre living in York, England. Some call him… Keith.

He creates art for underground metal, painting digitally using traditional methods with a graphics tablet and photomanipulation. His twisted visions have appeared on CD covers, flyers and websites across England, and as far afield as the USA and France.

He likes people to buy him malt whiskies (Talisker, Laphraoig or Lagavulin for preference), has a deep love of heavy metal in all its forms, can regularly be seen thrashing his neck at cramped metal gigs, likes cats and drives a red Volvo S40. He realises that the combination of heavy metal, science-fiction and an interest in programming makes him a hopeless geek, and doesn’t particularly care.

(“kingZog” is the alias Keith used whilst wasting his youth playing Quake.)
