About ArtsByKev
The core mission of ArtsByKev has always been to entertain, educate, and inspire.
In 2019, Kevin launched his venture into media and content marketing, focusing heavily on the YouTube industry. Since then, ArtsByKev has collaborated with numerous prominent content creators and development teams within the Minecraft ecosystem, delivering immense value through high-quality tutorials and custom Blockbench models.
By 2020, Kevin stepped into the role of full-time Art Lead for an Official Minecraft Marketplace Team. During this time, his distinct animation work caught Microsoft’s attention, notably featured in the "Haunted Mansion Battle" marketplace map.
Recognizing a clear demand for accessible, easy-to-grasp development guides during this period, Kevin created a comprehensive Blockbench tutorial series. Today, this ever-growing playlist continues to inspire and empower creators worldwide to discover the joy of Minecraft game development: Watch the Blockbench Tutorials on YouTube.
Backed by a Master’s Degree in Computer Science and Serious Games, Kevin brings deep technical and creative expertise to every project. This academic foundation benefits both internal studio productions and the many external clients and creators he collaborates with daily. As the studio expands into new areas of media production, ArtsByKev continues to push creative boundaries—and we invite you to join us on this journey!
ArtsByKev specializes in vibrant, cartoon-themed art styles, placing strong visual design and expressive animation at the forefront of every creation.
ArtsByKev’s Minecraft History
ArtsByKev has been an active Minecraft creator since before 2014, with roots tracing all the way back to the game's late Alpha and Classic stages in 2009, leading up to the official 2011 release. Over the years, Kevin has collaborated with prestigious build teams - including Pandora's Blocks and the Hypixel Build Team - worked directly with Mojang, and partnered with several of the most recognized Minecraft content creators in the scene.
Long before becoming an expert in Blockbench, Kevin was an avid user of Cubik for voxels and 3D assets, having worked with resource packs and custom assets for well over a decade.
With his origins deeply rooted in the Minecraft building scene, Kevin’s focus remains on "player-first" world-building. Over the years, he has designed vibrant social arenas for interaction, as well as rich roleplaying worlds where players come together to build everlasting stories.
ArtsByKev’s Blockbench History
Kevin opened Blockbench for the very first time on August 7th, 2020.
By September of that same year, he was already consistently producing increasingly ambitious and complex models alongside his video tutorials. Today, ArtsByKev’s creations have been seen by hundreds of millions of people across the global Minecraft and gaming communities.
Spanning the online world, his Blockbench assets are featured everywhere from the official Minecraft Marketplace to video content for multi-million-subscriber YouTubers. These creations helped clients generate over $500,000 in 2021 alone - a figure that has grown exponentially since those early days.
