Keegan Hall

Keegan Hall is a Seattle-based pencil artist who returned to art in 2015. Prior to returning to art, Hall was involved with multiple successful startups.

Art
According to NBC's Today Show, Hall started drawing again following the expected death of his mother. Previous to that moment, he had not drawn in nearly 10 years. Hall quickly became the favorite artist of many stars and celebrities.

One of his first drawings was of Seattle Seahawks Kam Chancellor and, after Kam spotted the drawing on social media, he reached out to Hall for his own original drawing. That exposure led to another friend wanting to give a Hall original to Seattle Mariners pitcher Félix Hernández. "Felix started following on Instagram," said Hall. Next, the Seattle Storm recruited Hall for a drawing to be an incentive for season ticket renewals.

Hall was also selected by Seattle Sounders FC to design the official poster for the 2016 MLS Cup in which the Sounders went on to become league champions. However, a defining moment for Hall's young artistic career came when he created an original drawing for former President Barack Obama.

Charity work
Hall has also been involved with various community initiatives to raise money for charity. His first fundraiser was with Seattle Seahawks Cornerback Richard Sherman, which sold out on the first day and raised over $40,000 for The Blanket Coverage Foundation. He then went on to work with stars such as Seattle Seahawks Quarterback Russell Wilson, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Seattle SuperSonics' Gary Payton, NFL stars JuJu Smith-Schuster and Adoree' Jackson, Seahawks Michael Bennett, and many others.
