“Dave is driven and professional, the design process felt smooth and collaborative. He showed flexibility and keen sense of problem solving for those on-site complexities.”

“Incorporating the children’s designs, the school’s values and colour palette preferences was a huge task, however Dave managed to include all the above and kept his signature style whilst being considerate to the children’s input.”

“Dave is one of the most geniune and trustworthy people I have ever met. He takes great pride in every project he is involved with, and his passion and talent is evident in every piece of illustration work he produces. He is a wonderful person to work with, full of ideas and enthusiasm”

“Working within a tight time frame before our official opening, Dave completed a stunning mural. In continuing to provide regular art and design support for us, Dave has become a fundamental part of our success.”

“Dave’s mural perfectly captures the energy and identity we were hoping to convey, as well as bringing the archive to life in a really engaging and accessible way! We love it.”

“Thank you so much for your professionalism and incredible skill in creating the mural. Your work has really raised the bar.”

“Dave brings everything to a project; a completely original mind, clear communication, professional understanding and a wonderfully calm aura to finish it off - the sort of working relationship that reminds you why you started working in the creative industry. Rather than ‘recommend’ Dave Bain, I think it would be more honest to say you’d be lucky if you get to work with him!”

“Dave’s attention to detail was without exception and he presented a number of ideas to hear the views of the wider staff teams and young people. He listened and handled all the individual views in a professional and sensitive manner, always keeping the young people in mind.”

“His vision captured our imaginations from the moment we started working with him.”

“Dave was responsive and worked well with patients and staff, running workshops and engaging staff in discussions about the work. ”

“Dave’s creativity and attention to detail captured the essence of our brand, turning the space into an engaging area that resonates with our student users.”

“Dave took my rather abstract brief and turned his artwork into something that had a strong graphic statement, offered a compelling visual journey, as well as having that magical and quirky Dave Bain touch.”

“Dave developed the designs following workshops with students and even got the students involved in some of the painting. ”

“Dave is a thoughtful, listening & skilful graphic artist who takes time to absorb the brief and then continues that dialogue as his design ideas take shape. Our play site for disabled children is the richer for his work and understanding. ”

“Dave got the tone and style spot on, and we ended up using his illustrations across our website, social and print. He made the process easy and fun, and intuitively knew what would work for us. Highly recommended.”

“We loved exploring designs and ideas for delivery with Dave as he makes this process fun and inclusive.

He has a great understanding of how to work sympathetically with audiences and how to get people inspired without it being transactional. There was a real sense of inclusion and participation that gave the project its identity.”

“Dave is incredibly talented, reliable and a joy to work with. Despite very short notice he produced some stunning work and executed it brilliantly”
