Keith Knight
The Los Angeles based cartoonist is the creator of two weekly comic strips, The K Chronicles and (th)ink, and is part of a new generation of artists raised on hip hop who infuse their work with urgency, edge, humor, satire, politics and race.
His work has appeared in various publications worldwide, including Mad Magazine, Salon.com, ESPN the Magazine, L.A. Weekly, The Funny Times and World War 3 Illustrated. Three of his comix were the basis of an award-winning live-action short film, Jetzt Kommt Ein Karton, in Germany, and his original comic strip art has appeared in museums and galleries worldwide. He has published six books: four collections of The K Chronicles, and two collections of single panel strips, Are We Safer Yet and Red, White, Black & Blue: a (th)ink anthology.
Keith's comic The K Chronicles won the 2007 Harvey Award for Best Syndicated Comic Strip and the 2007 Glyph Award for Best Comic Strip!!
