David D.J. Knight
Freelance Illustrator
"How would you describe your art?" I am bold with a splash of curiousity, cut from a straightjacket of creativity, and defined by the subtle designs and images I see tossed about my everyday world. You will see me furiously scribbling in a pad on the train or laughing as I sketch up a new concept that I may just toss away. Creating fanciful and dynamic images is more than a passion it is what I am with my stroke becoming more concrete with each project and my skill a bit keener by the day. Each Illustration is a piece of me given to the world, that spreads my message with every person that comes to me: "What a Lovely Day for Something Imaginative!!"
Many of my products and original fine art are available here, on my site, as well as at ShopColumbia. Feel free to contact me for commissions or general questions!
