Dave Correia infuses his art with a special kind of grotesque appeal, creating maniacal butchers, limbless prostitutes and mutant creatures.

The artist resides in northern California. He graduated from Cogswell Polytechnical College with a degree in Computer Animation. However, his passion for 2D art outweighed his desire to pursue a career on any 3D platform. Dave has grown increasingly more fond of the comic book medium, and has self-published a couple of comic books appropriately titled “Play With Knives”. The books are complied of short stories, pin-up art, and mixture of analog and digital illustrations.

Hardcore music is a passionate inspiration for Correia, and his art has been featured by the band Slipknot. His most recent piece of CD cover art is for the band Murder Practice.

The artist very generously features an art tutorial describing his techniques at his website playwithknives.com  For Dave’s tutorial, go to the info section..
