Consequently you can explore the extensive and ever expanding catalogue of images on this website. Pen and ink drawings with the addition of bright acrylic paint are the basic indredients of David's art-making techniques. In addition to that, he utilizes computer software to enchance the finished products by the insertion of custom lettering on various elements of the design such as billboards and newsboxes. Corporate identities can be inserted in the form of company vehicles and logos. All the images on this site are available in any proportional size, as large as posters and small as notecards. Anything is possible.
The artwork represented on this website are printed on acid-free paper using archival quality inks upon which David adds touches of origninal colour by hand. The resulting limited edition prints are therefore each unique unto themselves.
In addition to his artwork production David finds time to enjoy juggling (balls and clubs), learning songs on his acoustic guitars so he can perform at small venues. He moves around the city on a bicycle. "I don't need a car and I don't have time to walk".
