Dave DeCastris

Executive Creative Director and a one-man 360° brand marketing services agency for businesses; and to creative class collaborators I’m the artists’ artist, influencer and mentor.  Leading diverse, collaborative, productive paths within business and the arts successfully continues to influence each collaborative audience towards successful goals and results.  I’m also an illustrator, painter, photographer, and songwriter when time and energy allows, as well as the author of two published books (“Believe: RkfdNews“, and “I Mash Potatoes On My Face, What You Do Today?“).

I possess a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Design from Bradley University (1996) that has prevented me from earning career opportunities in my nepotistic hometown more than it has positively benefited me for over 25 years.  This is a good thing— it’s the fuel to my fire.  That specific strain of amateur-led disrespect for investing in personal education and professional growth affects many American communities like mine.  Granting power to privileged morons versus promoting on the basis of work ethic, intelligence, and that special, secret ingredient called passion, is why the U.S. is in trouble.  That reality hit me early on— it taught me how to establish and nurture remote opportunities elsewhere with inspiring like-minds by the mid-2000s to survive and grow.  This working-class action-first-words-last ethos led to launching Andy Whorehall (2004 – Present); it represents an independent, uncensored outlet for exercising artistic freedoms and a diverse skill set that continues to this day. 

Based in Rockford (IL) with a wife and child, peer testimonials and a body of work says the rest for me.

Have a nice day on the internet!
