David K. Coleman, Jr., a multidisciplinary artist, author, father, and mental health advocate, started drawing as a young child taking after his mother.

Encouraged by the support of teachers and classmates, Coleman went on to attend the prestigious Philadelphia High School for the Creative arts. After graduating he pursued hip-hop recording and production before returning to his undeniable passion of visual art. In 2016, he delved into digital art and in 2019 pixel art animation unlocking a world of creativity and connection.
