THE WORK
“It’s always exciting to create images, from a small editorial spot to
a major advertising campaign. Every piece is special to me.”
~ Dave
“My work is 100% digitally created using the program PAINTER. Generally speaking, my process is to read a synopsis of the content to be illustrated and provide anywhere from two to five or more conceptual sketches per illustration. My hope is to make selecting a concept as enjoyable as possible for the client.”
~ Dave
