    Hi,

    I’m mehmet. I live in Turkey. I saw your works at this site (http://www.bildirgec.org/yazi/arac-tool-simge-paketi) and i love them!

    I was looking for an icon set like your “tool icons”.

    I’m trying to use them on my phone (SE P1i) but i couldnt make it. It needs .mbm file format or something else :(

    Can you please make icon set like that for cellular phones? I will be REALLY REALLY glad to you =) Because there is too less icon sets for uiq3 phones..

    Thank you very much!

    Have a nice day =)

  18. Jade says:

    hey.. im an art student and im really liking your work…. i would like to know more about you, like how you got started and who inspired you….and the meanings behind some of them :)

    • Dave Mott says:

      Hi Jade, I started when I was young, like most kids. Started by wanting to draw comic books and cartoons when I was a kid. I wanted to be an artist so bad when I was a kid, I would draw ALL the time, I mean obsessively. I really started out as a designer, but I always wanted to be an illustrator.

      I draw animals because they’re honest. It’s possible to give traits to animals because they are so honest and they are kind of like blank canvases. I’m inspired by artists like Jon Klassen, Peter De Seve, Bill Mayer, Salvador Dali, and so many more. I hope this answered your question, thanks for visiting the blog and thanks for asking.

I am an art student and we have a project that includes imitating an art piece from your favourite artist and writing a biography about them and I decided to chose you as my favourite artist. The problem is that I can’t find much information about you to wirt in my biography and I was wondering if you could help me out?

    LOVE your work… So very talented, such whimsy. :)

  40. Your illustrations are definitely quirky and comical in design. The detail and precision show a professional quality and as an aspiring comic book illustrator, I find your work to be an inspiration, even though I’ve only recently found you. I will enjoy reading your posts from my subscriptions.

    Hi

    I’ve absolutely fallen in love with it work! I’d love you to do a sketch of my daughter, she has massive brown eyes and eye lashes and I think judging by your other work she would suit your style! Let me know if this is a possibility and prices.

    Kind regards,

    Samantha x
