David W. Youngblood

David was born in Norman, Oklahoma, but was raised, for the most part, in Durham, North Carolina.

He studied “Fine Art” at both Louisburg College and at East Carolina University.  However, his passion for Comic Books took him to New Jersey.  David enrolled in The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon And Graphic Art, Inc., where his studies were completed upon his three years there.  David shouts out a “Hello” to his fellow Kubie’s!! 

David has always enjoyed making people smile, through jokes, or by leaving sketches on people’s desk, as they were away for lunch.  But now, with the printing of Dr. Jim and the Special Stethoscope, David hopes to bring smiles to more people than just his family, friends and co-workers.  God has given him a “gift”.  And now, he has given David the opportunity to use it and he greatly appreciates that, as this book almost didn’t happen.  Back in 2007, David’s “gift” for drawing was taken away from him, though briefly, by a severe blow to his head.  After many years, David was blessed to get his “gift” back.  And now, he looks forward to what else lies ahead of him.
