I would like to introduce you David, who creates original paintings and digital works. He also prepared a giveaway to my readers, so be nice to him :)
But let’s hear what he has to say. I asked him to write a few words about himself and here it is:
“My name is David V Moore and I began selling my art online in 2006 working in acrylics on canvas. I sold mainly through Ebay, my blog and a website of like-minded artists called Daily Painters. Once I discovered Etsy in 2007, I opened a shop with a diverse mix of styles ranging from my digital work to large paintings.
I like to experiment with different techniques and styles and soon found my work splintering off into 3 main threads – colorful and whimsical illustrations, abstract paintings, and surreal digital work. To accommodate my different styles, I created two new Etsy shops earlier this year.
I opened Papermoth Illustration about three months ago to offer prints of my drawings and illustrations. This work is inspired by the incredible range of abstraction and individual interpretation to be found in the natural world. I attempt to simplify and refine what I am seeing in a way that focuses on color harmony and contemporary forms.
Abstracted flowers are a big thing for me and I love to create imaginary flora that have familiar shapes and elements re-interpreted into something completely new and fresh. My work is usually created in Photoshop with a combination of hand-drawn elements, painted and scanned textures and digital tools.
When I am not working (which is rare), I like to spend time with my cats and watch good cult films from the 70’s. I am also a choco-holic and sometimes eat cookies until I get sick or become very sleepy.”
When David is not working on new things to Papermoth Illustration, he spends time creating original contemporary paintings for his DVM Studios shop. He will soon list some new hand-painted pieces for the Fall, so check back often!
And that's not all! David has one more shop, http://www.davidvmoore.etsy.com/ ,and he post his surreal photo-montage style of work there.
Also check his website http://www.davidvmoore.com/ !
Man with many faces, isn't he?
But now the best part... David is so sweet that he prepared a giveaway to all my readers!
The rules:
1) The giveaway starts today and lasts until the end of August.
2) Visit Papermoth shop and pick one print you like the most.
3) Comment this blog post and state which print is your favorite. Please don't forget to leave your e-mail under your comment!
4) After the giveaway is ended, we will pick 2 winners who will receive 8X10 print from Papermoth. You will get the print you stated in the comment.
5) I contact the winners (that's why I need e-mail address) and post their names to my blog too.
6) Papermoth will ship the prints and we're all happy :)

I love David's work and just marked him as a favorite on my Etsy account. I'm a huge collector of seahorses and fell in love with his beautiful 12 x 18 print of a Seahorse. This would look great in my collection.
Thanks for introducing me to David's work and for the nice giveaway.
All of the work is so lovely. I really "Destiny" in turquoise and red.
I used to live in KY, what area are you from?
What a hard choice, but I have to say my favorite is "Under a Leafy Tree."
courtneyquietcity@yahoo.com
Very nice prints.. The Rustic Star is my favorite
there are some really beautiful things in his shop... but I think the aqua version of Perennial Moment (this one: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14014725) would be my favourite :)
supermuso (at) gmail . com
I love the cat eating the socks, but I would choose Perennial Moment in aqua. It brings back a special childhood memory.
LOVED it all. But I pick Capricious (original). The colors spoke to me. ALSO, this knitting/crochet you do is fantastic. Usually knitted clothes look bulky and unattractive to me, but not yours, its beautiful. I'd like to win the knitting.

Perennial Moment is really very elegant.
Under a Leafy Tree is my favorite. garrettsambo@aol.com
I really like the Slow Summer Fade, love the colors.
