April 2018 - UCF Literacy SymposiumI was honored to be a presenter at the University of Central Florida 2018 Literacy Symposium on April 6. My wife and I shared how illustrators use reading comprehension to understand an author's intent. I had a lot of fun!

"From our first discussion to the delivery of the final illustration, David has has been the epitome of true professionalism and artistry. His illustrations brilliantly evoke the feelings of the characters and transport the reader back to 1956. David's ability to listen to an author's thoughts and interpret his or her text are truly impressive. I can't wait to begin another project!"
-Frank Saraco, author It Could Have Been Us and The Mystery on 9th Street |

“David knew intuitively the sorts of illustrations I wanted. He was spot on with every illustration and amazingly quick to turn them around. He is very professional and a pleasure to work with.”
-Dr. Bob , author Hurry Up, Harry! |

"Excellent book and illustrations! My family enjoys the detail of the artwork as well as how the author allows the readers to feel like we are right there with the characters! And we love love love the Facts and Teacher/Parent Tools extension pages! This is definitely worth the money!!!"

“Dave was brilliant! Communication was easy, clear and considering we had a 5 hour time difference, speedy. I was kept up to date through the whole process and involved in tweaking the designs before the final images were created. The final project was delivered on time, within budget and all requests met... ”

"It was such a great afternoon. My kids are learning there is so much more to writing and illustrating than just responding to prompts. This is the real world, and my kiddos will fit in just fine. Thank you for bringing your experience to my classroom."
-Kellyann G., teacher |

"From our first contact, I knew Dave was the right person. He has a gift, not just for illustrating but also so intuiting what the writer is trying to communicate. I am so thankful to him."
