The Cartoon Art museum hosts David Crosland, artist and co-creator of the comic book Puffed, on Saturday, April 19th from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, as part of its ongoing Cartoonist-in-Residence program. Museum visitors will be offered the chance to watch Crosland at work and chat with him about cartooning.
Dave Crosland enjoys peanut butter, road trips, and samurai flicks. He dislikes yogurt and mosquitoes. Since graduating from The Columbus College of Art and Design in 2000, this delicious youngster's art has appeared in comic books, such as Slop: Analecta, The Popgun Anthology, Puffed, and Scarface: Scarred For Life. He's also done a wide amount of work outside of comics, creating album covers for Gym Class Heroes and hip-hop guru Blueprint, a stage backdrop for Incubus, concert posters, tattoo flash, and designs for indie apparel and panties. Dave has painted live and shown fine art across the country, in places like Gallery 1988 (SF/LA), 111 Minna (SF), Copro Nason (LA), Meltdown (LA), The Metro (Chicago), and Club Deville (Austin). Crosland's clients include IDW Publishing, Image Comics, Atlantic Records, Ride Snowboards, and Mad Magazine. His most recent comics work is the dark comedy/horror series, Everybody's DEAD, a classic "misfit fraternity vs. zombie hordes" tale with a twist.
Crosland currently dwells in New San Francisco with his special ladyfriend and their dog, Yoshimi. For more of his visual vermouth, visit
