"You want to know the funnest thing in the world to do? Just walk into a school and start drawing pictures for a bunch of people. Believe me, it's a hoot!"
David never met a true artist as a child (much less watched them work) so much of his adult life has been spent searching for the "how" and "where" to begin a career in art. His dream has always been to inspire the next generation to begin delving into their dreams right now, whether it's art, music, athletics or math.
If you, your school, library or church would like to experience this inspirational and hilariously good time just email drawingdavidbarrow@gmail.com and we'll set something up.

Kids love
watching an artist at work. David explains the process he goes through to create the look of a character, does several quick sketches and even uses pictures to tell a story.

Ms. Bozeman, Riverside Public School teacher |
What's In The Presentation?
These programs are designed to be projected onto a screen. If you do not have a screen or a projector that can connect with an IPad or overhead camera the artist can provide these.
Option 1: Illustrating books - A slide show (on an IPad) about the process of illustrating from receiving the typed pages to presenting a publisher with finished illustrations ready for print. This is followed by drawing a character the audience comes up with (based on questions posed by the artist). Option 2: Drawing characters - Sitting down with sketch pad and pencil (under an overhead camera) to draw characters who go along with the chosen topic (fantasy, animals, etc.). A sample presentation is on Youtube here. These demonstrations also include question and answer time. 45-minute One Time Presentation: $150* 30-minute Recurring Presentation for several groups: $100* (first presentation), $30 (additional presentations up to 2) *If your organization is unable to cover these prices David might be able to work with your budget. |
