Karl Levy

Concept Artist/Illustrator

Owings Mills, MD, USA
I am a former Architect and Graphic Designer turned Concept Artist dedicated to feeding that kid inside of me who lived to draw. I have been an artist since I was old enough to hold a pencil and I believe that contributing to the art world is what I was put here to do. I am currently available for both full-time and freelance projects for games, films, book and album covers, etc. and I aim to add something unique to every assignment.

I specialize in character and creature art, but I can also contribute in areas of UI art, textures, and prop design. My portfolio is available at http://karllevyart.wordpress.com.
