About the Artist

ERIC DAVID

Eric David returned to fine arts as inspiration to his graphics and photographs. His fascination with the limitless potential of consumerism, and his influences from such varied things as pop, atomic/space age, cartoons, comics, Japanese graphics, vintage toys, fashion, rock music and commercial art from the first half of the century became mainstays in his artistic expression.

His “Wreckless Worldwide Wonder Art Tour” which kicked off in San Francisco, California as a farewell tour was called “Pop Rock Fashion Robots and the Army of Love”. It consisted of photographs, drawings, wearable art and sculptural installations.

He has exhibited his paintings, drawings, photographs and multimedia work in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Sydney, Wellington, Nagoya and Manila.

Eric holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Advertising. He was a principal partner and creative director for his own communication design consultancy group, Eric David Associates, in Sydney, Australia until he chose San Francisco as the studio’s new base of operations.

For two years, Eric freelanced in Los Angeles, California concentrating on clients in the music, film, and fashion industries. Then, as art director at the San Francisco-based corporate headquarters of GAP, Eric helped create the in-house art departments for the visual merchandising divisions of GAP Banana Republic, GapKids, babyGap and Old Navy. His successful work with their advertising and store design teams is deemed pioneering and innovative.
