about kingZog
Keith Williams is an artist of the macabre living in York, England, sometimes known by his alias of kingZog.
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.
In his day job he manages the IT department of a mid-sized company, where he works dilligently to insinuate large quantities of black into all projects wherever possible. As yet, none of his logo designs have been accepted; goat horns and violated Madonnas have for some reason failed to impress Marketing.
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 black BMW 318d. 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, Doom, Command & Conquer and all the other classics. He heard about Ex-King Zog of Albania one day from his history teacher and rather liked the sound of the name.
