Episode 23: David Kaye

In this episode, we grab a chat with artist David Kaye. David served as a soldier in The Royal Dragoon Guards and completed tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was able to offset his thoughts between patrols by drawing. In 2012 he terminated hid service and was diagnosed with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). He used his passion for art to help him overcome some demons that followed and painting helped me defeat them. He has always had an interest in fine art, however, his greatest passion is cartoons. As a self-taught artist, he wanted his paintings to reflect the images that you would see on your TV screens, but with the added effect of a little bit of realism and some nice bright colours are thrown in.
