Hey, my name is Dave. I live in California and work as a designer for Adobe on Character Animator, which lets you make animated characters with your face and voice in a webcam. So I make a lot of tutorials and videos around that, hopefully helping make animation feel fun and more accessible to people.

I used to be the lead singer in a band called Okay Samurai. We broke up after college and I had the domain name so...yeah, here we are today.

But above all, I just love creating stuff, and that’s what this channel is all about. Music, illustrations, vacation videos, cartoons, exploding coffee cups, video games, public speaking, taking a bath with Rihanna, and a lot more.

So I hope you enjoy your time here - and thank you for watching.
