David has a deep interest in human behaviour and relationships leading him towards character based work and portraiture. Davids work is always hand drawn, then scanned and edited digitally. His current work is focused on monochromatic pencil drawings which show a fascination with light and shadow. He also likes to work with inks, markers and mixed media. Davids personal work often explores themes of relationships and LGBTQ+ issues.
