His characters are just so dynamic. You can see and feel the action coming off the page. Steve Ditko's got nothing on this guy. But his work is set apart from everyone else because of the remarkable attention to detail. Detailed art that respects the characters. Get to know him; he's a great guy. I am proud to call him a friend.

His art work is incredible and he is more than willing to always share a tale of working in the industry or educate some of us young bloods on how to properly break the rules when I comes to mixed media work. I am very grateful for personally knowing him and being able to talk shop from time to time.

Nobody works harder at their art or is more deserving of accolades and study. Dave has been a tremendous help to me in my illustration work, and I am thrilled to have some of his beautiful originals in my personal collection. You da man, DMB!Jay B.
