Bakkhai
Bakkhai is originally a ancient Greek play where mortal law conflicts with divinity and the madness of repression leads to death at the hands religious ecstasy. Creating artwork for fantasy and future worlds explores many of the same themes; order, conflict, power, companionship, repression and ecstasy - This is generally the feelings I search for when I sit down to illustrate. The agony of the human condition is the source of much creativity.

David is an avid gamer. Starting his MMORPG experience with Star Wars Galaxies, he amassed a reputation for being organized, efficient and creative as a guild leader. After building a dominate PvP guild, he looked for other challenges and discovered the forums allowed images to be used as signatures. Reluctantly, he made a few for friends and his guild, but the goodwill created encouraged him to do more. Demand rose quickly and has increased dramatically, leading to the creation of Bakkhai.com
