# About me
Born January 2nd, 1973. Keith Murphey is an American comic book artist, writer, and publisher. He attended Paier College of Art and graduated in June of 1996, with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts. Keith was a student of NYC illustrator Timothy OβBrien and studied under Silver Age artist Frank McLaughlin. Upon graduation he did work for Blue Comet Press. In the fall of 2000, he founded the Comicbook Artists Guild with the help of his friend and partner Robert King. Numerous branches soon opened in NYC and Massachusetts. The first CAG anthology was published in the fall of 2001. The anthology became a bi-annual book in the summer of 2007 with the release of the CAG West Coast Anthology. The publication of the books led to several of Keith's original stories including Zombie Hunters, Silliman Farm, The Commander, and Rockabilly Rex.2009 has proven to be a successful year for Keith and his artistic endeavors. In February, under his publishing company Guild Works Publications, Hell's Blood #1 was released. Created by his business partner and friend, Hector Rodriguez, the duo's first full-length project received a warm reception.
The year continued strong for Keith with three other projects to his name. Keith penciled Killer Cortez in Free Lunch Comics' Beyond the Kuiper Belt. He served as co-inker on Sky Pirates of Valendor #5, also by Free Lunch Comics. And he served as Art Director for CAG's first graphic novel Iconic, where he also penciled 2 short stories. Keith currently serves as Art Director for the Sky Pirates of Valendor series.
Keith is available for all sequential illustration, concept work, cover designs and character creation. See below for his commission rates! And visit [link] for a glimpse at his great talent.

Or had a lot of that red bull stuff we keep finding in those ditches over there.' ooh, and yesh..! I do still draw..! I am slowly getting better..(( at least I think so..>>; )) school is going fine, thankies for asking, and how's work? I see that some random person is commissioning you to do illustrations..! yay! I throw confetti in your honor.

Very strange week but I think it is ending the right way. I'll delve deeper into it as the layers of the onion continue to unfold!
Does anyone want to trade commissions?
I need as many Rockabilly Rex renditions as can be imagined!
Will trade art for art!

Who's Rockabilly Rex?
π: 0 β©: 1
The true origin of Rockabilly Rex has still yet to be revealed!
Several months ago he approached me and asked if I would be willing to illustrate his true to life stories. At first I thought that he was full of it but then he cut me a check and its been a pleasant experience ever since!
Currently we have 8 pages done. The next batch will be done sometime in the fall.
most of his stuff is going to be uploaded to [link] in the next couple of months.
I'll put up a recent deviation of him so you guys will know what he looks like.
Anyone who wants to do there rendition of him would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Keith M.
