BIO
Initially focused on Illustration and Graphic Design, Dave specialized on Screen Graphics or FUI (Fictional User Interfaces) for movies, games and new medias such as VR and AR devices. He shifted roles to work as Concept Artist and Visual Development Artist on feature films such as Captain America: Civil War, Thor: Ragnarok, Star Wars EP VII / VIII and others.

NO to NFT / Cryptoart
Although I hold no animosity towards those involved in the NFT and Cryptoart world, I have NO interest in being part of it myself, and I won't work for or support the art from companies and artists involved with NFTs.
I will support art from anyone including these individuals when the art is not involved with NFTs. No matter which eco-friendly crypto-currencies options are out there, they're still environmentally damaging compared to NO use of crypto-currency for art commercialization.
As of 2022, the culture around cryptoart is one of many cases of thievery, appropriation and mistreatment of artists and their work, and unfortunately any good efforts from a community that overlooks those issues and chooses to see only what they feel as positive traits, won't fix the problems that still exist. So I can't in good conscience support this movement with so many harmful events around it. Thank you for your understanding.
