This featured comics, art and music articles and it lasted for several years. by the age of 20 he co-created and directed the first webcartoon for latin america and spent several years in the field of animation and information technologies until one day when he made the decision to return to his real love: Comics.
For over 15 years Dave Youkovich has worked as a freelance illustrator and comic book artist for clients in the United States, Spain, Italy, France and many digital venues.
Always searching to improve his art and storytelling, he balances the commercial side of his career, with many experimental and unconventional projects with other artists, writers, sculptors and musicians.
