Keith Knight was born in the Greater Boston area, and is part of a new generation of talented young African-American artists who infuse their work with urgency, edge, humor, satire, politics and race. His art has appeared in various publications worldwide, including Salon.com, ESPN the Magazine, L.A. Weekly, MAD Magazine, the Funny Times and World War 3 Illustrated.

Knight’s weekly comic strip The K Chronicles won the 2007 Harvey Award and the 2006 & 2007 Glyph Awards for Best Comic Strip. Three of his comix were the basis of the award-winning live-action short film, Jetzt Kommt Ein Karton, in Germany. His comic art has appeared in museums and galleries from San Francisco (CA) to Angoulême (France).

Keith Knight is also the creator of (th)ink, a weekly single panel editorial comic, as well as a passionate media literacy teacher, who tours the world with his famous and inspiring multimedia slideshow, in which he tackles race issues, the media, censorship, and activism with a humorous D.I.Y. attitude.

In his spare(?!!) time, Keef raps in the semi-conscious hip-hop group, the Marginal Prophets. After 16 years in San Francisco, Knight recently moved to Los Angeles to expand his work beyond the printed page.
