Other Places

Designs in Australian Dream Time People, Bosque Dwellers and Barrimundi Gap are inspired from time spent with native Australians.

After his time in Australia David cruised the South Pacific on a variety of sailing vessels.  During this time he visited with the natives on the north coast of New Ireland, an island in Papua New Guinea.  Sky Gods and Mahbutu depict stories from their mythology.

Dreams were the inspiration for Chinese Dragon, Ly So Gün Gün , and Kahdam .  On the reverse of the Ly So Gün Gün, David wrote, “ The Ly So Gün Gün Symbol to Increase Sexuality.”
