Biography
A native Alaskan of Inupiaq descent, David Messer's childhood years were experienced
overseas. Perhaps
it was the exotic imagery and
experiences of
far away places
subconsciously embedded in his mind that sparked his passion for sketching at
the age of six.
He
has pursued drawing and technical illustrating since then, both professionally
and as a hobby. Throughout youth and collegiate schooling, his course work led
to a creative career including graphics design, photography, topographic design
(photogrammetry), and computer aided design (CAD) drafting.
David's
photographs and content
have been published on several
websites including
AOLTM.
His photography was recently included
in a national EPA publication.
He
is now experimenting with mixed
media to include oil paintings, watercolors,
and photographic
digital prints (giclées).
"My
art is best described as a capture of technical detail converted to a sense of
free-flowing movement and vibrant colors."
