Rashad Malik Davis is an illustrator/character designer currently pursuing his dream! He works primarily in traditional media such as pencil, ink pen, marker, colored pencil, and watercolor, and in the digital arena with Adobe Photoshop. He loves to explore themes of spirituality, magic, the mystic, and social justice in his work—but in a fun and humorous way!

Our differences are not only beautiful but necessary, and empathy is the theme weaving its way through all of my work. I seek to inspire children to appreciate and love diverse representation, whether of being or of thought. The arts are a means of giving this world meaning. They are a way of engaging with our surroundings, acting as either a mirror to reflect one’s beauty or a window into a new world. Through my work I hope that children can do either of the two, learning to love themselves or to love someone else.
