   David's Blurbs
About me:
Ascetic hedonist, lowbrow intellectual and saturnine victim of Peter Pan syndrome, David Aronson observes the nightmare of history from his oneiric bathysphere and brews up potent, chthonic images in his alembics and retorts. Once thought to have been born fully grown from his father’s left temple, it is now known that he spent his early years in a traveling minstrel show and petting zoo. His mother was a tap dancer and professional mourner, and his father a black-face clown and noted kabbalist. As a child, Popeye cartoons revealed to David the secrets of the Tao. David is a militant agnostic, a disgruntled, cynical tree-hugger, and an unrepentant, closet subversive, forever peeing in the cultural soup.

I'm an artist/teacher/healer/occultist/poet, intelligent, articulate, friendly, down-to-earth, spiritual, quirky and intense. I am an illustrator, digital artist and fine artist (drawing, painting), a certified hypnotherapist, 2nd degree reiki, and integrated energy therapy master, professional astrologer and tarot reader. I teach adults and children drawing, oil painting, watercolor and cartooning. If you'd like to see my work, go to http://www.alchemicalwedding.com

Who I'd like to meet:
Creative, intelligent, open-minded people who live outside the box. Iconoclasts, spiritual rebels, visionaries, people who are quirky and offbeat and who think for themselves. Psychonauts, witches, sorcerers, dreamers, shamans, artists, musicians, poets, writers, performers, healers, psychedelicists, free spirits, people on a path of healing, transformation, self-actualization. People following any kind of creative calling. People with integrity and depth. People who are open and not afraid to reveal themselves.

David Aronson's quirky, offbeat drawings, paintings and illustration combine traditional media such as watercolor, ink, graphite and colored pencil with digital media and digital collage. His work ranges from whimsical to fantastic, from highly stylized to realistically rendered, and has been called unique and highly imaginative. It mixes lowbrow with fine art elements and often employs unusual juxtapositions. Thematically, David often delves into the realms of mythology and psychology. He has created art for CD covers, music posters and tour t-shirts. David is also an oil painter and has completed several public and private commissions. His digital animation has been featured on MTV2 and Fuse and his drawings were featured regularly in BigNews, the New York journal of art and literature. He is an art teacher, working with both children and adults and teaching several different media, and was once the sole owner and operator of a small art school in the Philadelphia suburbs. He is also a certified hypnotherapist and a published poet.
