About Me


My name is David Combs, and all my life I've wanted to be a painter.
In 2002 I moved to New York because that's where all the painters go to get famous.
In 2005 I even moved into the world famous Chelsea Hotel, home of Dylan Thomas, Arthur C. Clark, Arthur Miller, and msot recently Ethan Hawke. And yes, Sid killed Nancy there too.
For a few years all I painted was the Chelsea, and people loved it.
I even did a few interviews, but mostly for Japanese TV.
Here's one I did for my friend Sam (I have the best clients in the world):
Here's one I did for the manager of the Chelsea (my friends Bob Munn and Sara Cook turned into a 3-D lenticular, it's awesome.):
Here's the lobby and some of the dogs who live there:
But New York is expensive and it was time for me to leave to pursue other things, like a dive business I started with my brother.
Of course I haven't given up painting. I'm working on a graphic novel and have plans to travel to the world painting buildings and whatever catches my fancy.

My Interests



"The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him to fish has been updated by a reader: Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries! Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his "basic rights."
-- Thomas Sowell

"Reason cannot establish values, and its belief that it can is the stupidiest and most pernicious illusion."
-- Allan Bloom

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
-- Ronald Reagan

"Many of you are well enough off that...the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
-- Hillary Clinton

I hope to make people realise how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must be that we will be kind and take care of their needs.
-- James Herriot

"Two years after ''the day America changed forever,'' the culture is in thrall to the same dopey self-delusion it held on Sept. 10, 2001: There are no enemies, just friends we haven't yet apologized to."
-- Mark Stein

"There are some who may feel that religion is not a matter to be seriously considered in the context of the weighty threats that face us. If so, they are at odds with the nation's founders, for they, when our nation faced its greatest peril, sought the blessings of the Creator. And further, they discovered the essential connection between the survival of a free land and the protection of religious freedom."
-- Mitt Romney

I'd like to meet:



David Bowie

Ann Coulter

Rush Limbaugh

David Mamet
