David Alan Dedin is a fifty-three year old gay man who presently lives in Aurora, a historic Chicago suburb. His late Queen Anne has the best covered-porch & hanging ferns on the block, and he maintains it with an OCD that would frighten Mr. Monk. His house is spotless. His yard looks like a Norman Rockwell painting. Dave shares the home with his best friend – a 54 year old goth – and the ghost of a little girl whose parents owned the property from 1941-1972. (See “Dave’s Haunted House,” on this website.)

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved to draw. I have no formal training, but I’ve drawn cartoons since I was a kid. If you’ve read Goodbye to Beekman Place, you’ll find many mentions of artwork.
Over the years, I’ve always found a way to utilize drawing in almost every job I’ve held, and this is a small sample of some of the projects I’ve done. I have a bad habit of giving away my “originals,” so most of these photos are copies of copies of copies…and many of the older ones have a “yellow” tint. (You’ll see what I mean as you scroll down.) Please keep that in mind as you view them.
