Joshua ‘Raihn’ Keyes

Hello! I am an American freelance artist and have worked on a wide range of projects from illustration to animation, company logos to product design and advertisements, web design to game design. I am a freelance artist, gaming designer, and community contributer.

I grew up in Washington State aspiring to be a commercial artist. After graduating from high school with a strong desire for public service and challenge, I joined the United States Marine Corps. After two deployments to Iraq as an infantryman and completing my four year contract, I began pursuing an A.S. in Animation and A.A. in transfer studies at Mount San Antonio College in Walnut, California.

While I was still in college, I was recommended by the department to local companies that were in search for artists. These included design company: SWIRE, freelancing design servious in Holywood, and a startup board game developer: DIP LLC. At DIP I worked as an freelance artist, but quickly became the company’s Product Producer, Web Designer, and Quality Consualtant as well.

Despite my versatile artistic interests, my passion still lies in E-Sports and gaming. I have has volunteered hundreds of hours in web and graphics design. At WCReplays.com, I maintained a feature article known as Raihn’s Art of War, which now finds its home at TeamLiquid.net. Since, I’ve happily worked with the likes of TeamLiquid, Grubby, IdrA, Tasteless, Kripp, ProxyWolf, and BaseTrade TV.
