David is the bevelwise creative director. He is a master at visual communications, digital illustration, digital media, advertising, website design, and many other creative design solutions. Of course he does do more traditional forms of advertising: catalogs, brochures, print advertising, specialties, direct-mail also. David has many illustrations listed in design directories, such as AbleStable.com, FolioPlanet.com, HotFrog.com, pointartist.com, artwanted.com, and IllustrationMundo.com. Check out some designs in our bevelwise digital illustration portfolio.
He draws inspiration from the great and the obscure in the history of applied arts — both commercial art and technical documentation — as well as by great inventors, engineers and innovators. This includes a multitude of outstanding creative geniuses between DaVinci and Disney that most people never heard of. In other words, he's 'very deep' and fascinated by the geometry of Universe and "isomorphic aesthetics" (right).
David's family consists of wife Annette, who is "more talented than she thinks"; their eldest, Amanda, and her husband Ryan with grand-babies Amelia Rose and Serina Grace; younger daughter Colleen, who is embarking on her own graphic design career; and their son Joe, an Eagle scout, too smart for his own good, and "looking for work".
He likes to watch classic sci-fi or read historical fact and fiction while ignoring what he refers to as his “wellness diet” with strawberry shortcake or a plate of spam-and-yams (a what?). "Music is a great passion for me - playing guitars, singing, or just listening - and I also enjoy being outdoors with Boy Scouts, historical re-enactors, or just alone in the woods."
