Death By Metadata
Mixed media on board, 2015
Very chuffed to be featured in this ‘Artist Notebook’ collection, published by Monsa in Spain, and available for a mere €25,90 right here. It’s a beautifully produced hardback book, with lots of excellent contributors (aside from my own lavish 14 pages!). Well worth a look.
‘What The Doctor Ordered’
Mixed media on board, 2015
This is a dry point etching with watercolor on paper. And it’s a thing of beauty that could be yours, right now, for a mere $35.00.
Seriously.
Buy Three.

Fascinating Things
Top thing: actual x-ray of my right wrist. The one that I use to draw. This is by way of an explanation for the lack of recent posts.
Bottom thing: a new piece for Art In A Box. Created before the wrist incident, obviously.
Another thing: an interview I did with Papirmass magazine, in which the aforementioned broken wrist gets a shout out.
Here’s a new suite of motivational letterpress prints that revel in the delightful title “The Grim Specter of Death”. Eight individual prints in total, in an edition of four of each print. Available, individually and collectively, at The Compound Gallery in Oakland right now, and in the gallery’s online shop (if you’re buying more than one use the code DAVID3 when you checkout to get a discount).
And if you’re in the vicinity of Los Angeles there will also be a complete set up on the wall at The Dove Biscuit Gallery, in The Last Bookstore in Downtown LA, as part of a show bewilderingly entitled ‘Defeating the Mentality of Defeatism’. The LA show opens tomorrow (March 7th) 6 -10pm, live music and positive affirmations will be provided.
Just in case you can’t make it to the Compound Gallery before December 14th, here’s the finished drawing for your consideration and amusement.
The finished version of this drawing will be up on the wall @thecompoundgallery this evening. Don’t miss the grand opening of the Institute of Fabrifaction! (at Fullarton Acres)
I have six drawings from the Apology Series appearing in a humor-themed show, appropriately entitled “Monkey Business” at the North Seattle College Art Gallery. The show opens Tuesday September 20th with two receptions, one at 1-3pm and the other at 5-7pm, and it’ll run until October 24th. The address is 9600 College Way North, Seattle WA 98103. Other exhibitors include fabulous fellow Compound artist Jeanne Lorenz. And lets face it, any exhibition that features the word ‘Monkey’ in the title has to worth a visit.
“What We Can See From Where We Are”
Regardless of your personal financial status, you can get a nice close view of this piece at The Compound Gallery in Oakland, CA, until August 3rd. Of course if you do happen to have a bit of cash to spare you can buy it here.
Anyone out there interested in picking up a HALF-PRICE ART BARGAIN, and also helping an excellent cause?
Then check out The Compound Gallery’s Indiegogo campaign, right here.
Contribute a mere $75 and they’ll send you one of these (big!) letter pressed Apology prints - each of which would normally set you back $150.
So you get a nice signed, numbered print, and the Compound gets to expand, offering more space and better facilities to the Bay Area’s beleaguered artists.
And if don’t want one of my prints there are other great deals, including Art In A Box subscriptions, print workshops, and even an Art Vacation.
It’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself to an Art Gift and do a little good along the way.
