Dave blends a slick photorealistic touch with elements of pop culture and iconic imagery to produce paintings that stand apart from the classic Glamour/Cheesecake style. His work has been featured in countless magazines here and abroad. A regular on the convention circuit, Dave?s work has been displayed in numerous group gallery exhibitions, along with his participation in many compilation art book projects such as George Lucas? Star Wars ?Vision? project. With 5 published personal art books to his credit, Dave is currently a contributor to Acme Archives Direct creating entertainment art for movie and television properties such as Disney, Lucasfilm ( Star Wars, Indiana Jones ), 20th Century Fox, Universal, Sony, among others. Born on the East coast, Dave showed signed at an early age that there was promise and destination to be developed from the outcome of hours spent drawing and doodling in class. With no real direction in sight... pleasing friends, family, and agitating faculty members seemed to give Dave his greatest pleasure as an artist. After high school, Dave enrolled in the Fine Arts and General Studies program at the University of Pittsburgh. With no real challenges at hand, Dave quit after three years and enrolled at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in the Visual Communications and Commercial Arts program. This was the environment where skills could be developed, mediums introduced, and styles envisioned. Halfway through the program, Dave realized where his talents were best developed.

With national recognition on the horizon, the inevitable occurred. Computers and computer graphics were introduced to the industry. Within a two year period, the need for high priced illustrators was reduced to a fraction of what it once was in the eighties. Not content to give up on his dreams, and having no desire to participate in the world of computer graphics and design, Dave searched for a market that supported what he did best: painting people, especially women. Enter the Glamourcon. On the recommendation from a photographer friend, Nestler attended his first Glamourcon in the fall of 1995. Not being a stranger to classic pinup art, Dave entered the show expecting to see the work of Gil Elvgren, Joyce Ballantine and other artists of the past.
