Kevin "Kev" Walker is a British comics artist and illustrator, who worked mainly on 2000 AD and Warhammer comics and contributed hundreds of art pieces for Magic: The Gathering cards.
Career
Walker began his career in 1987 working on Future Shocks in 2000 AD, and followed this up with work on some of the anthology comic’s most popular long-running stories, including Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, the ABC Warriors and Judge Anderson. During this period Walker also wrote a number of stories including Daemonifuge and The Inspectre, often with co-author Jim Campbell.
Walker first contributed Magic art work for the Mirage set, and has been creating illustrations for the game ever since. Originally known for his glossy, painted style and the fine detail of his inked work, Walker has since 1998 changed the way he works, using a high contrast black line style with heavy shadows coupled with flat computer colouring,
