About David:
David Hellman is an artist working in comics, videogames and animation. He made the graphics for the videogame Braid, and before that, he drew a web comic called A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible. Most recently, David co-ran a successful Kickstarter to fund the creation of a comic book, Second Quest.
After the unexpected, early career success of Braid, David spent several years looking for a suitable follow-up, living on his dwindling savings. With time running out, and no extra lives remaining, he chose to spend his last months of sustainable self-employment pitching a comic book called Second Quest. With writer Tevis Thompson, David committed to this new project in the most public way, with an appeal for funding on Kickstarter.
In his talk, David will share observations about protecting his creativity in a career increasingly riddled with adult worries.
