David Michael Friend , first off what an awesome name. But more importantly, Friend is an incredible artist, he’s the opposite of “one note” he does EVERYTHING as if its something he’s spent his entire life perfecting. He’s an insanely good illustrator, sculptor, puppetmaker, designer, modeler, photographer, animator, stop motion director.. his website which seems to be full of absolutely everything, isn’t even half of it.
Inspired by nature, humanity, the unbelievable and the ridiculous, Friend conjures a fantasy land just shy of reality with dreamlike inhabitants, using mediums from pixels to paint to sculpture to photography.
