David Johnson is considered by his peers to be the supremo line artist working today. In his 30+years professional career, he has produced over a thousand black & white and color drawings. He was discovered and put on the map so to speak, by the art director of New York Times book review, Steven Heller. Subsequently, Heller commissioned hundreds of portraits of well know individuals. This kick-started David’s career and he hasn’t looked back since.

David’s client list has grown to include Time, Harvard Business Review, The Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, The Wall Street Journal, National Geographic, Entertainment Weekly, Philadelphia, Cigar Aficionado, The Daily Deal and Scenario, among other publications.

In addition to his editorial work, Johnson has illustrated several books for both children and adults, including Abraham Lincoln, which won a Connecticut Book Award, two collections of Sherlock Holmes mysteries, and the recently released Snow Sounds. He authored and illustrated two storytelling videos, The Bremen Town Musicians, and The Boy Who Drew Cats, a massive project that consisted of 230 illustrations. He also illustrated a video of Hans Christian Andersen’s Thumbelina.

David recently won a silver medal from the Society of Illustrators in New York, and a gold in 1999.
