About the Author

David Wilkerson is a Black American illustrator who was born in Denver, Colorado, and is currently based in Maryland. He believes that there is healing in storytelling, and that it is the job of creatives to contribute to that cause.

His career began in the animation industry, working as a character designer, prop designer, and background designer. He’s worked as a designer on various projects for clients such as Hulu, Cartoon Network, Springhill Company, FOX Sports, and FUSE.

David developed a love for illustration during his time at the Savannah College of Art and Design. In addition to music, he was heavily influenced by illustrators like Ronald Wimberly, Justin Bua, Joe Madureira, Kevin Dart, Gyimah Gariba, and Scott Wills.

David believes that creation itself is what we live in, and he’s spent the last 20+ years creating the most authentic version of himself possible.
