I'm an art consultant working with a company called Interia Hospitality. I had a large arcade interior design project and needed to find a muralist to take up the challenge. I'm SO happy I worked with David on this project! Not only was the final product absolutely perfect, he was professional and responsive throughout the project. He was an absolute pleasure to work with! We began by reviewing the space together and I asked for some preliminary sketches. The sketches are detailed and give you a good idea of the final product. After approvals, he got to work painting. There were unexpected tricky areas in the project - patterned brick walls & high spaces - but the project & wall prep went smoothly despite this. David was great on finding creative solutions to any challenge that arose. The arcade remained open while he was painting & he was very flexible working around regular business hours. I will definitely hire this extremely talented artist again!! Go check it out in person - In the Game, Peabody! It's seriously awesome!

I Hired David for a mural in my personal training studio. The project was completed within three days of contacting him. His work absolutely exceeded my expectations and the mural turned out exactly how I wanted. I could not recommend him enough if you're looking for a project on your home or business. He is friendly and easy to work with.

David did a fantastic job painting the signs on our shop. He really nailed the look we were going for, and the attention to detail was top-notch. The signs turned out clear, clean, and really eye-catching. If you need a reliable and talented painter, David’s your guy!

I had David come to live paint at a work event in Boston and he was amazing! Very responsive during the planning stages, very professional while at the event. We were able to raffle off the painting during the event and it just brought that extra layer of excitement and personal touch. Would definitely recommend David to anyone!
