Originally from the Chicagoland area, Dave studied illustration in Brooklyn, NY. There, he developed a passion for people-watching, regularly sketching portraits of subway commuters. He currently haunts Oakland, CA, drawing and painting content for visual narratives involving the fantastique, the macabre, and the challenges and wonders of everyday life. His work revolves around an intricate attention to detail, inspired by profound storytelling – usually involving the struggle to overcome, and the humor and tragedy behind internal conflict.
