Obey Your Master Artist: David Stoupakis

David Stoupakis was diagnosed with a learning disability early in his grade school years.  Some of his teachers were concerned about his “gloomy” art.  However, a teacher that saw his talents encouraged his creativity.  He attended The Art Institute of Boston for a short period, but decided that formal art training was not for him. Luckily for the art world, none of David’s creativity was squelched by formal training, and for the most part David is a self-developed, self-taught artist (David’s Bio from Official Site.)  Walking through his online gallery is like walking through an awesome, macabre Oz or Wonderland.
