Lee Kohse

San Diego Comic Fest Guest Lee Kohse
Lee Kohse was born to a family of chupacabra herders in California and as a child learned to draw in the dirt while mining dust for spaghetti western films. During a stint in the Marine Corps, he started doing art for underground comics and indie rock magazines. One day, Lee went to a convention, caught Nerd Flu, and in a delusional fevered moment, decided to become an artist. Currently Lee works as a freelance artist providing art for clients including Lucasfilm, DreamWorks, Marvel, Disney, and has contributed art to such projects as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, Aliens, and Voltron, as well as serving as Creative Director of Speed Racer. Currently Lee is working on Star Wars projects and is a Creative Streamer on Twitch.tv. You can find Lee creating art, telling jokes, and giving tips about the art industry, several times a week live at www.twitch.tv/kohseart.

We will have an exhibit of original art by Lee Kohse, including Star Wars art that was commissioned by Lucasfilm/Disney. Along with the display will be Lee himself doing live art demos, signing prints of his work, and, of course, talking Star Wars.
