Kenneth Kupietz

I’ve been a professional illustrator, sign painter, muralist, since 1970, and Ive worked in every segment of society, from stage theater, small business, corporate, entertainment venues and the film industry. Paint, design, illustrate, airbrush, hand letter, pinstripe, roll it on, roll it out, splatter it, spray it, yes I have been painting forever. Years ago on a job site, I got the name “kenny the brush” it stuck like wet paint ! I grew up on the west side of Chi-town, my interests were always art oriented, and onto 4 golden years at Chicago Academy of Fine, in the late 60s, it was an adventure. Today, always busy, I design-produce murals on canvas per request, custom hand lettering / 23K gold-leaf work, framed decor paintings, portraits and caricatures. Always Grateful to the Universe for experiencing the creative flow, and spreading the fun !
