He loved that his prints could be shared with a greater audience and that his editions offered more accessibility to collectors and loved to give them as gifts to friends and family. David would always get a kick out of seeing one of his prints in a magazine or in a hotel or restaurant. Achieving his mission to leave his mark; "Maybe all we're doing is leaving our fingerprints... Leaving our mark."David continued to make original artworks specifically for prints up until he died, for his last editions to be published after his death - including In Love With You. He painted from scratch individual works, by- passing the digital process and making bespoke new works specifically for printmaking. Fervently keeping alive his life- time's work, and spending his last working days surrounded by his favourite cartoon family, and including his most important, heartfelt mantras and song lyrics: "Stay forever young" and "I love you"...
