THOUGH YOU’RE KNOWN AS A COLLAGE ARTIST, YOU’VE BEEN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CREATIVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE — A FILMMAKER, GRAPHIC DESIGNER AND ARTIST FOR ACCLAIMED BANDS AND INTERNATIONAL BRANDS, AN INTERIOR DESIGNER, STARTING AS FAR BACK AS A CHILD WITH DRAWING AND PAINTING. CAN YOU DIVE DEEPER INTO YOUR ARTISTIC HISTORY FOR US? Yes, I have been all over the place in the art world. Lots of chapters in my life. Since I was very young, growing up I watched my talented Mother paint. I studied her, and intensely and patiently would just soak it all in. I just began doing anything that was artistic going forward. Years later, in high school, I won a scholarship to the Laguna College of Art & Design in Southern California. Took a few courses in life drawing and sculpting. After college, I had a job doing custom picture framing. Worked with an insane amount of well-known clients. Tony Hawk, Quicksilver, Hurley, Vans, Yo Gabba Gabba!, Ed Templeton and so many more! I was installing art shows for celebrities and world-renowned artists. Then I ventured into film making. I taught myself how to edit videos. At the time I was a wedding videographer, so I got an itch to try something that soothes my creative soul. So I created a documentary called The Video Craze: Where were you in ‘82? I dedicated over three years of my life editing, filming and producing my first fully funded film from the ground up. It’s was exhausting but satisfying at the same time. Since then, I’ve been doing editing and collage design from my phone and iPad for about 10 years now. `HAVE YOU DABBLED IN ANY OF YOUR PAST MEDIUMS LATELY? OR DO HAVE ANY PLANS OR WISHES TO? I recently have taken a step back from doing anything especially on my phone, so I haven’t been as active doing anything art related. But GAME OVER ACK,ACK,ACK,ACK,ACK DAVE DANZARA
