Who’s the caped creator?

Hi there! I’m David — a national award-winning cartoonist and animation artist. I’ve been drawing series TV cartoons for almost 30 years, and it’s been an incredible ride! You might’ve seen my work on shows like Almost Naked Animals, Esme & Roy, Big Blue, Numb Chucks, Super Wish, Millie Magnificent, Bravest Warriors — just to name a few.

Way back when I first started as an illustrator, I had the awesome opportunity to be a cover artist for the legendary comic SPAWN, working on the super cool Viking Spawn title! (Look ‘em up they’re super epic!)

I’m also very proud of my role as a professor and program-stream coordinator in the Animation Arts program at a leading college in Toronto, where I’ve been teaching for twenty-four years. I specialize in character design, film language, and storyboarding — and I also helped develop the programs themselves. My amazing college students have gone on to work at some of the worlds most acclaimed studios including Disney, and Netflix. They’re pretty amazing!

Outside the college classroom, I operate The Caped Creator Superhero & Cartoon Drawing Program where my team and I teach kids how to draw superheroes, and cartoons in afterschool programs, at camp, and from my secret Markham hideout on weekends! (John St & Woodbine Ave.)

But nothing is as fun as my Superhero Drawing Birthday Parties! Kids get secret power cards that prompt an epic character drawing adventure as they create a one-of-a-kind comic book cover starring themselves; It’s so fun!!

I guess you can say I live, breathe and sleep superheroes & cartoons! And yes, I also wear a cape!
