David’s skills have been used at events ranging from the Shakespeare & Co. Literary Festival in Paris to conferences, workshops, and presentations for multi-national companies in Milan, Abu Dhabi, Detroit, and Stockholm.

David graduated from St. John’s College, Oxford University with a First in English Literature in 1989. Since then, he has built up a broad portfolio of cartooning work, specialising in the business sector. He has wide experience in corporate visualisation, brainstorming, and graphic recording. He has a long-term association with Trompenaars Hampden-Turner and has illustrated all their books and many of their workshops since the 1990s.

His many satisfied clients include Her Majesty the Queen (for her 80th birthday celebrations), Richard Branson, many sections of the NHS and large corporations ranging from Johnson & Johnson to Nationwide and Google.

His work has been published in The Beano, The Sunday Times and The Daily Mirror. His television credits include The One Show, Come Dine With Me, CBBC, Jack Dee’s Happy Hour, Horrible Histories and Wogan’s Web. He was a Designer/Cartoon artist for ITV’s award-winning animated topical satire 2DTV through all of its series; subsequently he worked with the 2DTV team on George Michael’s video ‘Shoot the Dog’.

David illustrates for a broad range of clients. His work includes portraiture, book and magazine illustration, Christmas cards, advertising commissions, and corporate gifts. He has even been asked to design wedding cakes and tattoos!

In the course of his career David has drawn nearly two hundred thousand guests at parties, exhibitions, functions and trade shows. His caricatures have entertained guests at events across Europe, the USA and the UAE.

David is proud to be involved with The Anstee Bridge Programme, an alternative provision service for Year 11 students with confidence issues. He has worked closely with the students in designing two museum exhibitions at Kingston Museum and Kingston Town Hall.

He is married to the Novelist and Writing Coach Jacqui Lofthouse and has two grown-up children.

When he is not working, David’s love of art continues. He is an obsessive gallery visitor and always aims to visit the galleries of the cities he is working in. He studies life-drawing at The Royal Drawing School and a selection of his life-drawing and other personal artwork can be seen here.

He reads widely, everything from history to literary fiction – including novels in French and Italian – and biographies of artists.

David Lewis worked continually for my company for 20 years. His professionalism and talent in speaking to people, along with his artistic flair made him a favourite at all the conferences and trade shows that we attended. Potential customers came back year on year for another piece of David’s fine artwork. It was a pleasure working with him.
