ART2KNOCK-OUT STUDIOS is an art & graphic design freelance outfit established officially in 2017. KO turns an over two-decade dream into reality, while engaging in ideas that inform the interests of prospective clients (whether big or small) and startup brands.
KO believes that art and visual problem-solving is a vocation toward the good... at least that is the purpose this outfit strives for. It can be a dynamic instrument that explores imagination and trigger intellectual as well as emotional results. KO recognizes the responsibility to use art & design to foster beauty (and fun) in welcoming spaces.
“Every art and every kind of inquiry, and likewise every act and purpose, seems to aim at some good; and so it has been well said that the good is that at which everything aims.”
-Aristotle
ART2KNOCK-OUT STUDIOS is the brainchild of artist Kingsley Obike; born in Vienna, Austria, to Nigerian parents who has lived a good chunk of his life around the world, including China, Italy, Nigeria, and the United States of America.
He discovered his passion for drawing early in elementary school. Around the same time, he gained interest in cartoons, comics, Japanese anime, and manga.
Today, he operates in the digital medium, working with Adobe applications going on 6 years. He currently applies some of those skills (while also learning) as a prepress operator for a printing company. He specializes in bringing ideas to life through innovative artwork. With a stable foundation in traditional and digital techniques, he offers a keen understanding of color theory, composition, and storytelling; committed to collaborating closely with clients to create designs and artworks that effectively communicate their ideas.
Kingsley is an avid movie aficionado, soccer enthusiast, Potterhead, and a Michael Jackson nut. He has been married to Winnie, going on 10 years. Together they have four
archangels

TESTIMONIALS
"KO helped me design the cover for my second novel and few short stories and novellas. He also helped with promotional material. It was a great experience. He took feedback well and applied it to his work until the covers were just the way I imagined. Definitely making this a continued partnership!"
