David Thompson was born in Takoma Park, Maryland, the seventh of eight children. Both his maternal grandmother and mother were artists. Exposed to art from the very beginning, David knew at a very early age what he wanted to do with his life. While largely self-taught he attended classes at the Maryland School of Art and Design in Silver Spring, MD and several schools in California. However, it wasn't until taking color theory classes in Annapolis in 1986 that he found the direction that he needed. David currently lives in Baltimore where he finds most of his inspiration.
Hello there! I am an illustrator based in Baltimore with an intense passion for fantasy, romance, and decor. I draw influences from fairy tales and I merge my personal experiences with these larger-than-life stories to create something beautiful.
