William Keihn (born 1983) is an American artist, designer, photographer, director and musician. He is best known for designing album covers for Ty Segall, Sic Alps, Black Lips and Thee Oh Sees[1][2][3] as well as directing music videos for Drag City artists Sic Alps, Peacers and Bill MacKay.[4][5][6] His work as a photographer was published in a 2017 book, Trapdoor.[7][8]
Keihn grew up in what he describes as "a Rust Belt city in Indiana that has succumb to the effects of deindustrialization."[9] He was born to a mother who worked as a nurse and a father who was a factory worker.[10] As an adult, Keihn moved to San Francisco where he "helped define the visual aesthetic of the underground West Coast rock scene during the late 00's and early 10's."[9]
In 2014, Keihn's original poster designs were exhibited by Chris Johanson at his Quiet Music Festival in Portland, Oregon.[11][12]
Keihn received his M.F.A.[13] in photography from School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his work is held in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.[14]
