Kelly Lane
Kelly Lane is an illustrator based in Texas. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine art drawing from Texas State University in 2006. He taught for thirteen years in elementary education, from the tiny pre-k kids to the not-so-tiny third graders, which has afforded him a keen insight into the world of children and the innocent prism through which they view the world. Now, Kelly freelances out of his home studio, breathing life into imaginary worlds. He lives in a cozy hobbit hole under tree and hill in San Antonio, Texas with his wife, two rambunctious boys, Boston terrier Bobo, and a lazy bobtailed cat called Bobkitty.
