Davey credits his unique gift for illustration to God, a passion first sparked in childhood as he filled sketchbooks with characters like Sonic and Mario. That early creative spark was further nurtured by music. As a guitarist and mandolin player, Davey explored songwriting and devotional writing, layering his artistic voice with rhythm and spiritual depth. He earned a B.A. in Visual Art from Erskine College in 2007, grounding his creativity in a strong artistic foundation.

Since then, Davey’s illustration career has flourished. His work has spanned children’s books, a comic book, and recognition at the 2016 New York Book Festival.

He earned a B.A. in Visual Art from Erskine College in 2007, grounding his creativity in a strong artistic foundation.

Since then, Davey’s illustration career has flourished. His work has spanned children’s books, a comic book, and recognition at the 2016 New York Book Festival. Primarily working digitally with a Wacom tablet and Adobe Illustrator, his signature style blends whimsy with clarity and emotion. But Davey’s creative range is vast, he’s also skilled in 3D modeling and printing, crocheting, graphite, inking, jewelry making, knitting, acrylic painting, photography, printmaking, pyrography, watercolor, and woodworking. These tactile arts not only enrich his visual storytelling but make each project feel more hand-crafted and heartfelt.

In 2018, Davey deepened his writing through formal classes, marking a turning point in his narrative craft. That journey led to the publication of Cayo and Patch: The Piso Crystal in 2021, his first children’s comic book. Since then, he has continued to develop an expansive portfolio of stories, each with its own distinct voice, heartfelt humor, and visual vibrancy. His integration of art and writing allows his ideas to bloom fully, inviting young readers into vivid, emotionally rich adventures.

Davey’s mission is to create imaginative stories that nurture kindness, courage, faith, and connection. His work invites children and families into playful, hopeful adventures where emotional truth and biblical wisdom are gently woven through wonder-filled worlds. Whether it’s a comic about space dinosaurs or a quiet fable of forgiveness, Davey’s stories resonate with timeless themes in approachable, delightful forms.

His influences are as diverse as his talents, comic books, anime, animated films, Welsh culture, travel, children’s literature, music videos, and the symbolism-rich narratives of the Bible. He weaves those inspirations into every book, every sketch, and every story told.

Davey lives in Greenville, South Carolina, with his wife Marissa, their two sons Ansel and Harrison, and their cats, Frankie, Pancake, and Honey, each of whom inspires new characters, jokes, and creative chaos. ...more
