Characters come first.

A look across Kevin’s original stories, art books, small-format illustrations, and animation.

Original character designs by Kevin Coulston
A shared creative thread

Different formats. A recognizable curiosity.

Some of Kevin’s characters have a story to tell. Others give a reader something to draw. The work collected here moves between those ideas, from illustrated books to animated performances and hand-drawn sketch cards.

This is a selection of projects rather than a complete publication history. For the current art-book list, visit the book catalog.

Crusty Goobers, up close.

Crusty Goobers is one of Kevin’s original character worlds, appearing across drawing, tracing, and grid books. His hand-drawn sketch cards bring that cast into a smaller format, with expressive faces and unusual combinations of features.
