Kelly D. Williams hails from a small town in the mountains, but it’s safe to say he’s cut his artistic teeth at this point with the help of some widely-drawn inspiration. At the core, Kelly gets his drive from skateboarding, music, and his Teton Mountain upbringing, and is well-loved for his trademark text (random sayings or individual words that somehow make perfect sense), a feathery design style, frustrated lines, burdened faces, and his feted signature. KD W has been featured in magazines all over the world, and his designs have popped up on skateboard decks, snowboards, and album covers. I especially like the piece above– according to Kelly, “it’s best viewed left to right whilst listening to RJD2’s 1976. No, really, try it.” He has a ton of stuff available for sale, and will actually be auctioning off some of his original artwork for charity on ebay on May 6th– proceeds go to Design for Humanity.
