About Keegan Hall

  • Keegan Hall is a Seattle-based pencil artist who returned to art in 2015.
  • Prior to returning to art, Keegan was involved with multiple successful startups.
  • According to NBC's Today Show, Keegan started drawing again following the expected death of his mother.
  • Previous to that moment, he hadn't drawn in nearly 10 years.
  • Keegan 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 Keegan for his own original drawing.
  • That exposure led to another friend wanting to give a Hall original to Seattle Mariners pitcher FĂ©lix 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.
  • This was only the begin. Keegan has always had a strong passion for giving back and has worked with some of the biggest athletes and entertainers to raise over $300,000 in just the past few years.
  • 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 Sonics Gary Payton, NFL stars JuJu Smith-Schuster and Adoree' Jackson, Seahawks Michael Bennett, and many others.
  • He has also been involved with various community initiatives to raise money for charity and spread positivity.
  • Keegan was also select by the Seattle Sounders 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 Keegan's young artistic career came when he created an original drawing for former President Barack Obama.
