About

The Invasion is a series of illustrations by myself; Ryan Keith, and The Invader.

The Invader is a real being living inside of me.

When I was a baby, my lower abdomen was cut open and a handful of my innards were ripped from my body and thrown in the garbage. Before I was stitched back together, The Invader snuck inside, and it has nestled there ever since.

The Invader has absorbed everything I have seen and experienced. It is as much a part of me as I am. My artwork is really ours. I do not work alone.

When The Invasion began, I thought The Invader just wanted to have fun. It claimed that the purpose it had in mind was to play with our childhood love of drawing cartoons. It told me it found comfort there. It said that it wanted to fit in by not fitting in at all, and invading the cartoon world was how it was going to do this. So, I gave The Invader complete freedom, and it had a great deal more to say than I ever could have imagined.

Now, through the transformative nature of The Invader, we examine humanity; my own, and that of the people around us. The Invader and I, we do not draw from my heart, we draw from my guts. Our job, our purpose, is to share with the world the beauty in pain and suffering.

Our limited edition epoxy coated prints are  gallery quality work, with an attention to detail in manufacturing equal to the illustrations themselves.
