Instructor: David Rose

Biography:

My name is David Rose, I studied Illustration at the College for Creative Studies (BFA, 2023). I am a visual development artist with an emphasis on Background Design and Painting.In my career, I have worked freelance on a number of projects, including developing comic books and children books. I have worked on a mobile video game and as a live caricature artist at numerous events in the Detroit area.I am interested in just about everything. I love learning about new subjects and exploring complicated ideas. If I'm not listening to a Harvard lecture, I might be watching a customized build of a Lego roller coaster. Life's too short to decide on just one thing to love, so I use my art to live out all of my wild fantasies.Dream with me.
