Drawing since the tender age of 2, David Small filled the basement walls of his childhood home with murals inspired by the work of Diego Rivera. He went on to earn a masters degree in fine arts from Yale and teach college students. After 14 years of teaching, he realized he needed to focus on his twin loves of illustrating and writing.
