Summary

Kyu is a visual artist / illustrator.

Kyu was born in South Korea a while back and moved to Canada sometime later. His early proclivities in the visual arts has stayed with him to this day. Much like a student of Kung Fu, he is still trying to find his true style.

Kyu lives with his wife and cat and a budgie. When he's not hunched over his Wacom tablet he will occasionally paint with actual paint on canvas. He draws inspiration from life, photos, his imagination and the great masters of past and present. All this has left him wanting. This is a good thing.

Kyu is also adept at graphic design, having worked in the print industry for well over 15 years.

Kyu is looking to get into Character Design in the entertainment industry, but unfortunately has no prior experience. He is hoping to remedy this.

Kyu likes ice cream, but is lactose intolerant.

Kyu is pronounced Q... like the letter.
