I find photography and graphic design to be branches and extentions of painting and printmaking. I enjoy them all and I am currently in the process of getting my Master of Fine Arts. I love and enjoy creating works for clients and myself. A more detailed portfolio of work is available here .I hope you enjoy my work as much as I do |

Here in this space.. I write. I am an artist, a chef, a technologist. Least of all these things I am is a writer. So what you see here actually means something, becuase i dont wirte much or often. the following was written for my MFA applications. David H Munson I believe that art is a personal statement, no matter how impersonal or removed that statement is. Each brushstroke holds a deeper secret meaning, whether known to the artist or not. In art we convey our deeper selves and from this we learn more of our second, more secret lives. I believe that all actions are interconnected. Everything contains characteristics that betoken that deeper universal link. My mission is to convey this through art. What I create speaks to the self-destructive nature of mans consumption and self-consumption. Because consumption is most literally shown through eating I choose to depict this metaphorical act of self-consumption though cannibalism. ....----------More----------- |

Technology and I have had a long running affair. I remember in 1978 a giant blue machine with a big white built in keyboard. I typed in my name and made the colors cycle. oooo magic! I bought my TSR-80 with a 16k backup memory module the cassette recorder (for saving your programs) I loved it. I would buy magazines and copy the programs out of the back and play pinball or whatnot. we all remember ZORK of course. we would play that on the old COMPAQ computer, the one that folded up into a suitcase. We loved our computers. we would go to the "computer shows" where people would sell components in the ballroom of some random hotel. I got my first taste of the future playing with autocad and a digitizing tablet in 1984 looking out over the george washington bridge from my fathers office in fort lee I could taste it. |
Of course who new the juice was poisoned and the milk had curdled. When I was working in outsourcing and living in san francisco I saw the flip side of technology. smart people working hard to make some real got crushed by the whimsical nature of investors and the rape and pillage barbarians in biz-dev and sales. Technology still pays the bills though, puts food on the table and pays for my art supplies. I'm just more jaded and les optimistic about the things technology will bring us when it brings us all a little closer together. I need my elbow room. I design web sites, I build servers and networks. I prefer to work with other artists who can use technology to evangelize on their art and make a positive change in the world. I hope someday to run some sort of art driven technology.. but until then I'll just make technology pretty. |

Munsonarts is a place to keep my stuff. I use this site to communicate thoughts and ideas. For instance I recently stopped doing high end digital photography. I felt that there was so much control and I was so anal that the process was too predictable. I remember one of my early printmaking professors Anna Audette describing those moments of the loss of control in the printing process as "happy accidents". I loved that idea, It gave me permission to give myself over to the materials. It allowed me to say I can only do so much with a plate and the rest is in the hands of the printing gods. I cannot control the way the ink moves under 1000 lkbs of pressure.. I can predict and try to allow for it.. but i cant control it. and in the case of digital photography i found myself having far too much control. So I recently acquired a Seagull Twin Lens camera. It's a cheap Chinese knock off of a rolliflex. IT's fantastic I'll be posting images here soon. But of course there's more to me than just pictures and prints. I make things work, I fix computers servers networks and web sites. You can see my resume here---->x<----- I am available for consulting and design.
