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.
