Artist Biography: Dave has a wild imagination and is inspired by both the natural and
designed world. He began drawing and doodling at a young age. Pencil
and paper, pen and ink are his greatest strengths. Drawing provides
the base for his art and craft that evolved to airbrush illustration,
sculpture, and watercolor painting. His Tinkers Island Fish Co, fresh carved fish,
was a popular booth at the Artisans Market during the Festival of Arts in the past.
Exploring the outdoors offered opportunities that fueled his passion
for creating a unique, whimsical perspective of life on earth. Pursuing
saltwater fly fishing, rowing in the ocean, hiking and hunting in
New England continues to inspire him. He has worked for years on a MAC
and been involved in design and illustration for corporate giants like
Gillette, Hasbro, HP Hood, publishers Houghton Mifflin and Addison Wesley
that continues to support the good life in Massachusetts for
Dave and his family. Dave has also received awards for his artwork
at the Marblehead Festival of Arts and from the Society
of Illustrators.
