Andrew King: Already a Storied Background

Ottawa artist Andrew King has an already storied background – as a syndicated cartoonist while studying at university in industrial design, then as a television animator and now, a rising painter.

His bold colors, unconventional shapes and strong sense of humor have made him immensely popular, despite his own caution that “I don’t have any formal painting training. I’m a cartoonist, so I have no idea how paint works,” as he put it in an interview on an Ottawa Citizen blog.

His subjects include a surplus of trains, planes and automobiles.

The architecturally oriented pieces he favors flow from King’s design background.
