ARTIST
I’m David Tristman, an artist, designer, coder and teacher living and working in NYC. I grew up in the ‘80s influenced by early punk, hip hop, graffiti and comic books. As an artist I work in a variety of media ranging from drawing and painting to photography and animation and enjoy working in traditional and digital methods. My illustrations have appeared in The New York Times and on HBO as well as in numerous other publications.
DESIGNER
Since 1995 I have worked as a designer, mainly in the area of interactive media, but I enjoy all areas of design. My projects and clients come from a wide range of categories that includes anything from entertainment to pharmaceuticals.
CODER
Around 1997 I became fascinated with the web and began teaching myself HTML, then CSS and Flash and some JavaScript. These days I still enjoy hand coding HTML, HTML5, CSS3, a litle JavaScript, some WordPress customization, dabbling in PHP, and am constantly studying new techniques and improving my skills.
TEACHER
In 2000, I began teaching Flash, ActionScript, and other web design classes at Parsons School of Design. I love teaching and have continued there as well as at Pratt, NYU and Pace University. In 2008, I began offering my own seminars in HTML and CSS for beginners. The popular seminars now sell out.
My new online training site will offer lessons in basic web coding and production. COMING SOON!
