Book cover for the YA book ICEBREAKER by A.L. Graziadei showing the two male main protagonist facing each other and holding onto each others collar.

Digital art of my original characters Aran and Tao as young adults out at night in their local nyc neighborhood kissing. Tao sits on a bicycle and Aran bends down slightly to kiss him.

Mock cover of Suzanne Samin and my upcoming graphic novel. The title still r wads Fear Of Falling but we changed it now to Wherever I’m With You.

The cover shows a brick house fall and Aran and Tao sitting on the rooftop, their legs dangling down the edge, and in big letters underneath them it reads “fear of falling”

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as young teenagers on a hot summer day walking down the streets in their local nyc neighborhood and playing around with a basketball.

So many older films, even the ones considered schlock or trash in their time, have such an artistry to their style that modern films are missing.

Hi #portfolioday, I'm David! I'm a writer & editor! Currently looking for comics writing work (licensed or original--I've got pitches, webcomics okay, NSFW okay) and long-term employment in editorial or a related gig! Hire me!

The A cover to Transformers Wreckers: Tread & Circuits by Jack Lawrence and Candice Han depicting the "IDW2" version of the Wreckers. They're showing off for the cameras. Clockwise: Thunderclash, Ricochet, Minerva, Circuit, Aileron, and Hot Shot. One of several Transformers projects I wrote. I also edited the entire line of Transformers comics for several years.

The cover to the Eisner-Award Winning Godzilla 70th Anniversary book, by E.J. Su who also has a fantastic story inside. Godzilla is destroying a town and chomping on a train. In the background, a silhouette of light in the destruction makes a giant 70. A comic I co-edited with Jake Williams at IDW (and one story edited by Jamie S. Rich). I was the Godzilla editor for a bit working on other titles as well.

The cover to Power Rangers Prime #5 (which makes the Pink Ranger look more purple than he really is). Depicting the Prime team. Clockwise from top: Red, Yellow, Black, Pink, and Blue! Art by Dan Mora. I am also the former Rangers editor at BOOM! Studios.

The cover to the Sonic the Hedgehog 2022 Free Comic Book Day special. Art by Adam Bryce Thomas featuring Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails. I was the editor on Sonic at IDW from 2018-2023, as well as writing some additional materials for the book, including a recap back-up story in this very issue!

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.
