It is with pleasure that I recommend David Wiener for his next role. David worked for me at The Loyal Subjects™ (TLS) for almost 2 years. I understand David has a background in Industrial Design but after joining the TLS team, he has grown into a more well rounded artist. David has experience working on deco illustrations, Pantone color selection, line sheets, one pagers, trade show displays, web banners, social media, product photography, photo retouching, and packaging for a number of large entertainment companies- such as Disney, WB, Fox, HBO, Sony, Viacom, EPIC Rights, Funimation, Mattel, and many more. David is proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite and is always eager to learn new skills. I hope you will consider David Wiener for any open position he has applied for. Please feel free to contact me for further questions. Thank you Sincerely, Dane Neal Cox

His skill set covers many softwares needed in today's design and production. I've received every project in the most timely and professional manner from him, and David has always met the challenge raised the bar.
