David Milano, a Los Angeles based freelance artist with a penchant for the macabre, has been drawing since before he can remember - always with an inclination to conjuring fantasy into reality. Over the years this obsession has manifested itself in many diverse disciplines including: illustration, sculpture, photography, writing, theater and film, and costuming/prop building.His hobbies include chainsaws, fine cocktails and shrinking heads, not necessarily in that order. Oh yeah, last year he did the poster for the Los Angeles H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival.
David Prior has long believed that it's a director's duty to know first hand every job on a film set, which is how he justifies his rather bizarre list of credits. While he has produced and directed several feature length documentaries for DVD, he wrote and directed feature film The Empty Man, and AM1200, and directed "The Autopsy" episode of Netflix series Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities (from the story by Michael Shea).

Originally from Minsk, Belarus, I grew up in Los Angeles, California. I started drawing when I was five years old and haven't stopped since. I get my inspiration from fantasy art, old children book illustrators, Grimm fairy tales and real life situations and characters. Much of my work depicts fantasy and fairy tale related themes. Fantasy art for me has always been a way to escape into another realm where anything is possible. Each of my products is an expression of imagination, magic and wonder.
