David Trebenski / Designer & Illustrator

Professional creative Designer & Illustrator with a passion for digital art

About Me


I’m a Canadian Illustrator and Designer and my work focuses on the blending of digital and traditional medias. I was born in the Golden Horseshoe of Ontario but have called a few different places home.

I spent two years studying for my bachelor of fine art at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, Georgia. After spending two years living and creating in Atlanta I decided to make a fresh start and landed in Toronto. I spent the next 4 years completing my bachelors of design from OCADU. I currently live just outside of Toronto where I live and work as an illustrator and designer.

My work is inspired by a melting pot of styles. Ranging from classical oil painters to digital concept artists and traditional /Neo-traditional tattooing styles. I’m passionate about creating beautiful and intricate works of art and driven by the need to constantly improve my craft, even if it means sacrificing a normal sleeping schedule to spend more time working.

Some things you should know about me. I love Tattoos, and I’m as passionate about collecting art from other artists as I am about creating my own work. I’m also a house mouse. There’s no place I feel more comfortable than at my desk, sucked into whatever I happen to be working on at the moment.

Now if you’ve made it this far and your not horribly underwhelmed please feel free to reach out and get in touch with me, browse the gallery, or even stop by the shop and help me avoid becoming a starving artist!
