This is where I’m supposed to write something about myself, isn’t it? Besides the blog posts that go back to 2003 I mean. Something simple and encapsulating.
Hmmm.
I’m an artist, illustrator, cartoonist, writer and designer. I’m not a bad cook but I don’t hire myself out for that. I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil but I leave that early work out of my portfolio. Examples of my work can be found in the Gallery sections as well as in the blog entries.
I’ve created comics, graphic novels, storyboards, editorial illustrations, gag cartoons, book covers, maps, logos, magazine layouts, Powerpoint presentations, and much more.
If you’re looking for an artist with whom to collaborate, please use the contact form on the right to get in touch. If I don’t think I’d be a fit for your project I’m happy to put you in contact with someone who might work better for you.

Greetings Mr. Ingersoll,
I’m Giovanni Valentino. I used to write under the pen name, Devon Tavern, and run the small press magazine, Alternate Hilarities. I’m reviving Alternate Hilarities as an anthology and I wonder if I could post the old Illustrations from Alternate Hilarities you have on your web site on the Strange Musings Press web site and maybe the kickstarter I’m going to start this weekend. I’m actually reprinting 1-800-CALL-GOD in the new anthology.
David, I tried to send you a message using the link at right but it didn’t work. I’d like to talk to you about a work opportunity. Plus it would be good to catch up more generally. (I sent you email but I’m not sure if the one I have is still good).
Jason
Your message came through. Thanks!
Hello Mr. Ingersoll,
I have a switchplate cover of two lizards which you drew back in the Factsheet Five days and for which I paid you a pittance. When you sent it to me, it was unsigned, so I sent it back for a signature. Just wanted to let you know it’s still in existence and still makes me smile whenever I look at it. Best wishes.
Hello Ms. Miller!
Wow. That makes me smile to hear that it’s still around! Thank you for letting me know!
I still forget to sign my art.
Cheers!
David
Happened upon your site purely by accident. Saw your Dick Briefer Frankenstein illustration and was immediately sucked in. Lovely work, sir. Just lovely.
Thank you for stopping by John. I followed the link to your site. Lots of cool stuff there. I’ll need to visit again when I’ve got time to browse.
Found your site while doing some research on the hollow earth in fiction and was disappointed to find the page dedicated to Morgo the Mighty was down. The glimpse of your thoughts on the material has me as intrigued as anyone can be for Morgo; any chance of recovering this page? Thank you!
Brian –
Thank you for writing! It’s always a pleasure to meet a fellow Hollow Earther! The Morgo page is going to be staying down here. I’m thrilled that you’re interested. Most years that page seems to have been used to try to post spam comments. I’ll be making a corrected (for all the errors I made typing it up the first time) version of Morgo available to my supporters at my Ko-Fi page. The story can be purchased in a nice format from Adventure House. I’ll be serializing a new, illustrated version of the story for Pulp and Circuses supporter starting in July.
All the best,
David
