My name is Kelly Blake and I was born in the artistic city of Bristol, United Kingdom, and for me the inspiration for design and artistic flare began at the earliest of ages. From a young age, it was clear that my passion was fixed on the most creative and stimulating areas of aesthetic design. At age 13, my work was featured in Bristol City Cathedral's Annual Art Exhibition where I was awarded my first award for up and coming artist. This is the first ounce of recognition I received for my artwork, and it felt amazing!

Throughout my life, I have studied a wide and extensive range of subjects obtaining a foundation degree in Graphics & Illustration, an ABFS diploma in motion picture production at film school and a Masters Degree in Cinematography and Post-Production whilst studying in London. Despite narrowing down my studies in college and university, I have always had an interest in every single aspect of creative production ranging from illustration to sculpture, and photography to SFX make-up. Since graduating in London in 2013, I have completed work on a large variety of projects including feature films, books, games, artist commissions and most recently providing artwork for comic books under the IDW Publishing label.
