He moved to the Hawthorne District of Portland, Oregon, when he was small and remained within walking distance of his childhood home until his death in September 2016.During his last twenty-two years, David lived and worked with his agent and publisher, Wendy Ice. Eventually, they adopted two rabbit muses and a giant sulcata tortoise. David and Wendy were married in 2013.David began painting in childhood and was proud to have never held a ”real” job. Though in the early years, he supplemented his income with creative stints such as graphic design, sign-painting, stained glass repair, art teaching, and blues guitar, he soon gave these up to become a full-time fine artist and illustrator.He worked in various media, including etching, pencil, acrylic, and gouache. But in his final years, he painted almost exclusively with oil on canvas. Delamare paintings have appeared in museums, on book and album covers, in television programs such as Marsalis on Music, and in numerous films. Eleven of the books that David illustrated were published in his lifetime. At the time of his death, he and his wife Wendy were planning several more volumes for which he had completed the artwork. These included a mermaid book, a fairy book, a figurative book, and a retrospective. All invoices must be paid within 24 hours of the sale.
