Meet Kevin Peddicord

Pop Nostalgist

Artist Biography

Kevin Peddicord was born in 1962 in Washington, DC and spent his early life in Columbia, Maryland. As a commercial illustrator, Kevin created art for NASL’s Washington Diplomats, wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage, Major League Baseball Hall of Fame player Eddie Murray, the Durham Bulls and the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes. As a painter, Kevin has participated in solo and group shows since 2005. 


In July 2025, Kevin will have his painting "The Phallacies" included in the biennial international exhibition in London, England for the London Art Biennale.


Influences are primarily cinema, stretching from the silent films of the 1920’s to exploitation films of the 1970’s. Inspiration for paintings comes from images from films by directors such as Fritz Lang, Jean Luc Godard, Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick, and Ingmar Bergman. Artist inspiration includes Gene Colan, Alex Ross, Frank Frazetta, Skip Liepke, Edward Hopper, Gregory Manchess, James Bama and Kent Williams. 


Kevin lives in Raleigh with his wife Nanette and their Polish Lowland Sheepdog Lenny.

Artist Statement

“I call my work “Pop Nostalgia”. My subjects focus on pop culture, most of my subjects derive from my love of comic books, cinema and music, primarily from the 1920s through the 1970s. Humor (with a heavy dose of satire) is a major subject in my work. Although the vast majority of my work is oil on canvas, I occasionally veer of into acrylics, watercolors and pen & ink.


Inspiration for my paintings comes from images from films by directors such as Fritz Lang, Jean Luc-Godard, Akira Kurosawa and Stanley Kubrick. In comic books, work by Gene Colan, Alex Ross and Lee Bermejo are favorites. Artists I most admire are Frank Frazetta, Skip Liepke, Edward Hopper, Ben Shahn, Gregory Manchess, James Bama and Kent Williams.“
