Multi-disciplined artist Kyle Krauskopf creates like others breathe.
Given to intensive year-long endeavors Krauskopf most recently completed The Meantime Chronicles Volume I- A project which saw the weekly creation of an original short story or poem accompanied by a hand drawn illustration. Coinciding with the creation of these works, he spent the last 6 months helping with the opening of Nuwave Gallery in Ellensburg Washington. This gallery will feature the debut of these collected stories and works on March 3, 2023. Alongside the debut of this collection will be the release of his first self-published book containing all 52 stories and illustrations.
His enthusiastic drive has spawned many past projects including, but not limited to: Small Drawings High Hopes, 365 Days of Wood, and the ever-ongoing Gratefully in your Debt.
Blessed with hands always eager to help he has found himself a philanthropic founding member of The Museum of Museums, integral to the re-opening of The Belltown Artwalk, branding consultant with Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery, and a founding member of Base Camp Studios all in various neighborhoods of Seattle, WA.
Finally, but perhaps most importantly, he is an oft collaborator with The National Alliance on Mental Illness. Krauskopf believes mental health is of the utmost importance to all of us and that if you can simply take a minute to listen, or to help someone out, we’d all be a little better off.
Sometimes he takes a “break” but it almost always involves brainstorming the next idea.
