Really lovely stuff on his site. Makes me want to make similar stuff – except wanting to and being able to are very different.

If I’m not mistaken, he’s an alumni of the art dept. at SWOSU where I attend…

nice work! i like his site too, the design is clean and even though it’s flash isn’t too cumbersome/slow.

dave IS awesome, and is awesome to work with . . . not just another pretty guache-on-pine-plank-mexican-wrestler-death-pallor-portraitist, but the complete package. speaks “good” (ish) english, answers his phone, labors in a speedy and Herculean way – I kind of want to have his children. But I can’t. I encourage you to, if possible! you won’t regret it.

Dave Curd is a Monster with Giant Teeth and Razors for eyes. He sleeps in your closet, and only comes out when he smells Ham.

Oops Johnny, it’s not all vector. I pull the lines in illustrator with custom brushes, then I pop’em over to photoshop for coloring. I’ve always wanted to use painter, but it lags for me when working on a 300 dpi document. Is this common?

Jacob, it’s true, I went to swosu for a bit. But it was mostly for the drinking, basketball, and unlimited lab hours. Art school Unreal Tournament lan party FTW! I bet you could put some real nice games on those shiney new Macs…

Wow! Really bold, excellent work!

I don’t believe that is Dave. A merchant sailor told me that the real Dave carves his lines into elephant hide using sharks teeth. While both animals are still alive.

I believe SCAD has a class on that. The tricky part is getting the elephant into the ocean…

Good work dave! Even if you are a filthy vector whore.

Gee, I don’t know. I’m sad to say I don’t really dig his work. I mean, even when his inking is good and he has a good sense of colour, I believe he lacks drawing abilities. And don’t get me wrong, I understand that something needn’t be beautiful in order to be called art. For example I’m a great fan of Greg Simkins’ work; his illustrations are gross and disgusting, yet strong, professional and luring. He has a perfectly dominated technique and uses it to achieve what he wants, while Dave’s work is …hum, plain ugly and stiff.

Nah.
a)I’m jealous about a lot of other illustrators here.(In fact almost everyone).
b) Can’t be right or wrong about artistic apreciations.
c) That maybe (considering waist size).
d)I wish. (See? Told You I was jealous about some others).
