I was born and raised in the Detroit area. I began my political cartooning career in college for the Eastern Echo at Eastern Michigan University where I was a finalist for the Charles M Schulz cartoonist award in 1993. My first professional gig was at the Macomb Daily and then the Grosse Pointe News. My biggest influence was Draper Hill who was the Detroit News cartoonist from the 1970’s thru the 90’s. I am published in the Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year, by Charles Brooks. My cartoons are collected by the likes of Senator Carl Levin and in the Cartoon Library of Ohio State University. Aside from cartooning I am also an independent animator, and my work has been seen on MTV, PBS, IFC, Tech TV and festivals all over.
You can read more about me in an interview by the Pakistani Spectator. I am a regular contributor to these diverse blogsites…Donkelphant.com and Bob McCarty Writes.

I have a huge favor to ask of you. I am planning an election night watch party for the University of North Texas, and I absolutely love your Obama Caricature. The theme for the election night party is “Obamanite,” and your art would go perfectly with our theme. I would love to further discuss the possibility with you.
Thank you,
Joshua Castillo

Hello Dave,
I’m thrilled to see you’re still having a great time offering your fabulous art of the politicos of our time!
I can still remember your Eastern Echo work, namely President Shelton and “Mah Learnin’ University”, the Marching Hurons — another victim of a throwaway society, and the Central Michigan University riots and your famous 99 bottles of beer on the wall satire!
I’ve linked my website and e-mail. I’m interested in hiring you for a couple pieces of work for my site. Shoot me an e-mail with some digits and I’ll call.
They’ve hauled down Goddard Hall in Ypsilanti years ago but I still remember all the fun we had at the Eastern Echo, and a few beers to boot!

I’m a high school student at the liberal arts and science academy of austin, and I was wondering if we could publish a few of your political cartoons in my school electronic magazine?
Thanx,
Clara

Hey man. Joe Prush and I were talking about you a while back. You were the funniest cartoonist we ever met.
