I've been drawing for most of my life, beginning with simple sketches and doodles before immersing myself in years of mechanical drawing. Because art was never a full-time obligation, it became a deeply personal way to capture meaningful moments and perspectives. These moments are shaped by circumstances—both internal and external—and by the people around us. This journey has given me a deep appreciation for shadows, shading, and the interplay between what is seen and what is left implied. I strive for a balance of shadow and precision, but never simply replicate a photo or reference. Instead, I transform it into something uniquely my own.

These artworks stand out as some of the most defining pieces from my extensive collection of sketchpads. Though many have been worn down by the friction of travel and time, they still preserve the essence of the art. Looking back, I can trace my thought process and the timeline of my life, valuing the moments I captured

David Burrows, a retired Marine, spent 20 years in the reconnaissance field before retiring. Since then, his global travels and connections—both old and new—have deeply influenced his art. Drawing from his experiences and relationships formed during service, David’s work seeks to convey the profound details of the military world he knows intimately.

David's journey as an artist began in 1996 with his first limited edition lithograph, featuring Staff Sergeant Mike Black as a Combat Diver. Over the years, he has expanded his portfolio to include designs for tattoos, t-shirts, logos, and various other illustrations.

His artistic focus is primarily in black and white, using expert shading techniques to highlight the unique equipment, uniforms, and personal traits of the individuals he portrays, capturing their essence in a way that resonates deeply with those who have shared similar experiences and offering a visual language that speaks to the uninitiated about what lies beneath the shadows.

Having lived the "Recon Life," David is committed to giving back to the warrior community. He partners with organizations, foundations, and charities, using his art to support those in need. Many of David's illustrations are bespoke, crafted specifically for individual clients, ensuring each piece reflects a personal connection to their story.

In everything he creates, David strives to use his talent to honor his past to the benefit of others in need.
