Some people claim that David Hickson's ability to draw stems from the fact that he was born with a pencil in his hand (a fact his mother strongly denied. She would know wouldn't she?). What is factual, is that he has spent most of his professional life hiding his passion as a Fine Artist behind his Graphic Design degree. It wasn't until he was laid off in 2008 from his 8-5 job, that he finally found a way to merge these two worlds with Blender (fitting name isn't it?). After becoming a Blender Foundation Certified Trainer, David got hired as a modeling and texturing artist for a Simulation company located in Southern New England. He has also turned his gift of talking to himself while he works, into a career of teaching others.David has also formed a Cyber-Studio Team called Blenducation to create an animated short called Man-I-Can which is set for release at the end of 2011. We wish him the best of luck.
