David Dotson: Freelance Illustrator, Sculptor, and Wanderer

Thanks for taking the time to view and enjoy my work.

My work, at its core, has always been about storytelling. Whether painting, sculpting, or writing, my focus remains on creating narratives in my work that connect us.
In times past we have relied on myth and story to view and interpret the world and ourselves. We love and relate to our heroes and our monsters alike.  As time passes and the Modern world progresses, the predominance of myth as a means of attunement has lessened and the role once occupied by Shamans has now passed to Artists. The Shaman and the Artist are both able to inhabit many worlds at once, to see things that others pass by.  Both act as a catalyst to reveal the nature and conditions of being. Mythologies address the most human of issues; Death, Time, Sex, Birth, Loss, Valor, Shame, all of the things that push on and preoccupy the human psyche. Through the tool of  Myth and Story we are able to internalize  the hidden or avoided realms that  constantly surround us.
