Dave's Art

Photography

Dave is an aspiring artist.  Dave, along with his wife Amber, enjoys photography perhaps to an unnatural degree.  Dave received his very first digital camera as a gift for Christmas 2006, and has, since that time, managed to fill his computer's entire hard drive with photos.  Prior to Dave's digital revolution, dave used an SLR and a medium-format Mamiya camera.  Some examples of Dave's photography can be seen by clicking here.  Dave, Amber, and two friends have recently begun a photography business of sorts.  We are still trying to get the venture off of the ground, so our website is a work in progress - www.eternaleyesevents.com.

Painting

Dave has recently become involved in painting, and has recently commissioned himself to paint a work of art of great significance.  Dave has recently finished his first major painting, entitled "La Mano."  This work was dedicated to his loving wife Amber, and now hangs on the wall in Dave and Amber's music studio.

Dave has recently finished painting his masterpiece, entitled "313."  This picture was specially commissioned by Dave to commemorate his friendships at the 313 Military Intelligence Battalion.  The painting include the faces of Brandon, Johnny and Dave, and was given to Brandon as a house-warming present.  The painting and a picture of the gift-giving ceremony are below.

Now, Dave finds himself almost done with a painting which, he believes, will sell for a lot of money at a Holiday Inn Starving Artist Sale one day.  The painting will either be entitled "Delvis" or "Autoretrato."  An image of this new painting should be up soon!
