Kc Cowan
Art Director | Graphic Designer | Illustrator
Raised in Las Vegas, NV, my family made quite a few international moves-including Europe, Micronesia, and the Middle East. Traveling the World helped me grow into the artist I am today and learn from a vast array of people and their unique cultures. I’ve been lucky enough to run with the bulls in Pamplona, hike the Tongariro Alpine crossing in New Zealand, scuba dive with the Thresher sharks of Malapascua and the manta rays of Micronesia, climb the Harbour Bridge down under, sand board the dunes of Abu Dhabi, and simply just live my life to the absolute fullest.
I’ve worked on merchandise and apparel design since 2006, moving from freelance to a full-time position, and have designed for bands such as Jimmy Buffett and Slightly Stoopid. My specialties include merchandise and t-shirt design/separations; however, I also create tech packs, flyers, catalogs, company branding, packaging, social media marketing, vehicle wraps, custom linocuts, paintings, and so much more!
