Kevin Allen Kerber is a maverick in the world of media, forever embracing innovation on his journey. Hailing from NYC’s School of Visual Arts and The Art Students League, he was an early adopter of desktop publishing, stepping boldly into the digital realm. Among the pioneers of freelancing with an extensive home setup, Kevin blazed trails long before it was cool.
In the neon-soaked 90s, armed with a SONY laserdisc recorder, Kevin unleashed vibrant 3D animations onto the iconic Times Square SONY jumbo screen. His creations danced across the colossal canvas, setting the stage for digital spectacle.
Venturing west to LA, Kevin found himself in a realm of daring experimentation alongside producer John Scofield, riding the success of recent blockbusters like Jerry Maguire and As Good As It Gets. In ’97, Kevin’s brainchild of crowd-funding and crowd-producing films was a futuristic spark, albeit ahead of its time.
Fast-forward to 2009, and Kevin was wielding his expertise to craft the United Nations Day of Peace Broadcast at peaceday.tv. In a world teetering on the edge of streaming possibilities, Kevin’s broadcast carved its space, nested on un.org, streaming its message from over 8,000 sites.
Then came the pandemic, and Kevin, ever the visionary, took center stage once more. While the major networks grappled with the new norm, he dazzled with mind-bending live stream extravaganzas. Multi-camera, multi-user game shows ignited screens, proving that innovation thrives in adversity.
Most recently, Kevin’s exceptional skills were evident in the creation of a grand projection screen unit at an Oregon college’s student wellness center. Here, students bask in tranquil oases, soaking in serene landscapes and self-care treasures, a testament to Kevin’s unyielding pursuit of novel possibilities.

I pioneered this innovative project in the realm of Augmented Reality (AR) Environments and Portal Video. Recognizing the unique advantages of the vertical video format, including its creation of an intimate and immersive environment that captivates user attention, I forged ahead despite industry challenges in handling this format. This forward-thinking approach was rewarded with the widespread adoption of vertical video by end-users and various platforms, showcasing my ability to anticipate emerging trends. Furthermore, my experience with VR environments revealed their limitations, particularly the need for users to disconnect entirely from the real world, which posed a significant barrier. Consequently, I shifted my focus to Augmented Reality, leveraging custom lenses to deliver more engaging and immersive experiences while addressing system limitations related to load size and display speed. This dynamic field continues to be a fascinating arena for exploration, as we uncover innovative ways to seamlessly integrate AR technology.

As a pioneer in the realm of emerging technologies, I embarked on a transformative journey with AdobeBay and the development of assets for Character Animator.

Electric Apricot
Character Design & Art for Mockumentary
A friend was producing this project with Les Claypool and devising ways to glean interesting footage to drive an improvised plot. This character arose when I pointed out that their plan to get footage of the calamity caused by legal response from their planned use of a protected trademark might be interesting, but it would leave them with a significant loss of a useable band symbol. So I created this character which bites off of some of the iconography enough to be from the same family of imagery, but not infringe anywhere. I also produced the posters and other art used in the film.

During a pivotal moment, the Hendrix estate meticulously revisited all licensing agreements. To my immense pride, the image I crafted was the inaugural pick by the Hendrix family once they resumed licensing of this substantial estate. It was a delightful twist of fate to later witness that very image adorning a vibrant necktie worn by the perennially noir-clad comedian, Richard Lewis, in the debut season of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'—a vibrant contrast that captivated the discerning eye.






Psychedelic Solution NYC
I stumbled upon this gallery in 1986 when they were having an exhibition of one of my absolute favorite artists- Rick Griffin. In the years to follow my friendship with the gallery allowed me access to artists spanning many significant and often underground genres. I believe I attended every major opening and the highlights were numerous; private dinner with the entire group of Zap Comic artists, hanging shows for Robert Williams, Mark Mothersbough, H.R. Giger, Robert Crumb, and many more. I sold work at the show for the Church of the Subgenius, and was honored to complete the print series and gallery closing announcement PS50 and PS51. These were done using 3D software and early version of photoshop that had no layers. These were all done on single image layer using alpha masking.

I created a number of images for legendary groups and heroes at Bill Graham's Winterland Productions, and some were reportedly tricky to please, and those are the ones when they hired me for. Doing this from Woodstock NY for the HQ in San Francisco in the early 90's involved Syquest drives, Fedex, and tight turnarounds. Wish I had some originals, as these vintage shirts now go for hundreds.

Nike Kiosk and UI
Amidst New York City's dynamic landscape, our team spearheaded a pioneering project. We crafted a visionary Nike Swoosh interactive kiosk, featuring a user-selectable product catalog. This concept, designed for retail environments, was ahead of its time. Our opening animation showcased a 3D Parthenon, with an animated Air Jordan sneaker leading viewers into the temple Nike and kiosk instructions. I meticulously modeled this innovative design. Unfortunately, only this image endures as a testament to a moment when technology and creativity converged on the brink of a new era.

NYC Apartment Party
After my initial year at the School of Visual Arts, a group of us, primarily dorm-mates from the storied YMCA, decided to rent apartments in the same narrow building on West 57th Street. The location was truly remarkable. I recently obtained an image from my very first adult party in my inaugural New York City apartment—a cherished memory. At the time, I was concurrently attending the Art Student League down 57th street, and just further working at Sam Flax on Fifth Avenue. In my role as the graphics department manager, I oversaw Letraset rub-off type, Pantone papers, and line tapes—a true testament to the old-school design process. Remarkably, at the age of 17, I was selecting typefaces for major publications and events like Rolling Stone, and the Emmy Awards. Often, designers would leave font choices largely to my discernment, seeking the latest fonts that had arrived. This playful collage layout reflects my admiration for Terry Gilliam's style and the achieving a distinctive gradient background, which, in 1987, was a true feat.
