Kevin James Tweddell 1948 to 2019 RIP.
"Kevin's father was very artistic and although a northern work man he encouraged his son in his ability to draw from a young age. At the age of 16 he left home and went to art college where he met many wonderful people and a lot of the famous names to come in life. He then moved to London where he worked for Hallmark. Many jobs succeeded this but he fell into illustration and loved his time spent in convent garden working with and socializing with so many artistic people. Kevin spent many years bringing up his daughter in Twickenham where he continued to illustrate book covers and alike.
In 2007 we ventured to Devon to buy a pub restaurant which had always been a dream of ours. We have spent the last 12 years working hard but loving being part of the community and our little business, The Tower Inn, Slapton, Devon
Unfortunately Kevin was diagnosed with terminal cancer in November last year (2018) and was told he had only weeks. But in his true form, he embraced life, said all his goodbyes and had some brilliant parties to see him off.
He is terribly missed but he rests now just across the road in St. James Churchyard, to keep an eye on us all"
(Kevin was born in Heywood, Lancashire and was a member of Artists Partners for over 25 years)
