David Argento is a professional graphic artist with over 20 years experience. He has owned his own textile imprinting and embroidery business for over 18 years. Hailing from central Ohio, he began his art study in high school and later attended the Columbus College of Art and Design. Since he works with mostly graphical designs during the day, his spare time has been filled with practicing many other art forms including sculpture, acrylic painting, and mixed media that allow him unlimited creative freedom. For the last two years he has been focused on lead portraits, which you see on this web site. These drawings are very detailed and so close to the original reference photos that some people are fooled by which is which. Once framed, these pieces have become prized possessions by their new owners.
