Dave Helfrey's Interests
|
| General | 
It hasn't really bee intentional, but I seem to have drawn a lot of monsters, robots, devils and snowmen. I guess I must like them.
 | | Movies | Starship Troopers (so obviously, this is in no order whatsoever), Nightmare Before Christmas, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, the South Park movie, The Seven Samurai, Battle Angel, the Giant Robo and Shin Getter anime series, Dodgeball, Rio Bravo, Tremors, Lake Placid, The Fifth Element, Fight Club, Goodfellas, Young Frankenstein, Raising Arizona, O Brother Where Art Thou?, the Godfather, and I know it makes me one of the mindleess mob but what's not to love about Peter jackson's LOTR trilogy?
Movies That I Hate That Everyone Else Loved
Something About Mary (Smells Bad), My Big Fat (Boring, Unfunny) Greek Wedding, The Waking Life (Which I Slept Through) | | Books | At least 40% of all the books I buy are coffee table books of the artists I admire if not flat out envy. The other 60% are comic books.
| | Heroes | Bill Mayer, Tim Biskup, Joe Ledbetter, Mark Ryden, Gary Baseman, Chet Zar, Jhonen Vasquez, Roman Dirge, Coop, Shag, Eric Pigors, Joe Gaither, Frank Kozik, Nathan Jurevicius, Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken, Bill Wray, John Kricfalusi, Alex Ross, Ed McGuinness, Steve Dillon, Dale Keown, Berni Wrightson, Adam Hughes, Tim Burton, Henry Selick, Gary Larson, R.

Dave Helfrey's Blurbs |
About me:
I used to be an advertising art director. No, that's not true. I still am. It's kind of like being a murderer: just because you stop doing it full time doesn't mean you aren't one any more. But now that I've done my tour of duty in the agencies I'm freelance and branching out into the things I've always loved: illustration and Halloween. The pay I've swung for both is squat so far but I have managed to reinvigorate my waning senses of creativity and joie de cha-cha that I thought my ad clients had managed to romper-stomp out of me completely. Which is pretty neato when you think about it.
So anyway, I really want to know what you think about my art. Keen? Sucky? Share, share - that's fair.
And if you're in a place to do it, what I really REALLY want is for you to hire my ass. You'll be pleased to know that my wrist comes with it.

Who I'd like to meet:
Other offbeat and lowbrow artists, cool bands, comic book artists, toy makers, urban vinyl and pop art fans, and art directors and creative directors that want to hire me to draw for them!
