About Me

David W. Rickman: I am a freelance illustrator and author specializing in historical subjects. My work is published in books, magazines and exhibits in the United States, Canada and Europe. Though my specialty is early America, especially the West, I have researched, written and illustrated just about everything from Peter the Great to the ancient Druids and a good deal of natural history. I have also consulted on costumes and living history for various agencies, especially California State Parks. For my portfolio blog, go to: http://dwrillustrator.blogspot.com.
