Many old school Phish heads remember Dave as that kid drawing people on Phish lot. At his very first festival, The Great Went, all of his food and belongings were washed away in a storm (newb). He borrowed paper and a sharpie from a neighbor and started drawing cartoons of people in exchange for whatever they were selling, keeping his friends from going hungry or un-buzzed through the weekend. Ever since, he’s carried a thick drawing pad and a skeleton crew of Prismacolor markers wherever he goes, acquiring food, clothing, stickers, champagne, and even admission tickets. He became rather versed in campground economy. Heads from various festival cultures still have a drawing of themselves hanging inside the RV, as do many members of the bands.

Dave was distant from the Phish scene for over a decade because he was touring with his own band, Primate Fiasco. When he decided to take a break from touring and revisited his paper and markers, the live music community jumped on his work.

"The first of my Phish cartoons was 'Pageside Late 90s'. It's still one of my favorites but I felt the need to update it now that I'm around again. The band looks a little different. My style is a little different. This one was a pleasure to draw."
