My name is Devin Edwards I’m a Kansas City native who grew up on the east side of the city. I graduated from Paseo Academy of the fine arts in 2016, then went KCAI for two years. The theme of my artwork is my character, “The Crusader” and the universe I created with him, mixed with cartoons I’ve grown up with to bring a certain type of childhood wonderment and light in my work. Sparking happy memories and warm feelings within my spectators is a fun goal I take charge of.
              To make the characters pop, I add contrasting bright colors that draw your eye to be entranced by the art piece. From there, the viewers are invited to speculate on the deeper meanings within my works. The idea of the viewers having their own interpretations of my artwork brings me great joy and fulfillment.
