David Grizzle moved to Ventura with his wife in 2010 from San Pedro. “I am originally from Texas and I spent 12 years (1998 to 2010) touring the south as a musician before turning to my visual art full time. I am self-taught. I work with acrylic on different mediums. My style has been described as Photo Realism. One of my last shows, “Fear and Loathing in San Francisco” was a success and was dedicated to the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
I was living on Santa Cruz St. when Joshua Pemberton (owner of Discovery Ventura)introduced himself with his card on my door. He had hear through my neighbor that my wife and I had just had our son, and he wanted to reach out and apologize for any construction noises. Which was very nice of him. So I called him up and I asked him how they were going to decorate Discovery. I showed him my art and we sat down for a lunch and hit it off…and the rest is history. Several of his large paintings can be seen at Discovery Ventura, 1888 Thompson.
