Hi. I'm D.E. Uhlig. I also go by Dave or David, and I often sign my work "Davado," a nickname my dad gave me when I was young. I'm an artist, author, husband and father, and for as long as I can remember, I have loved to draw. Read more!
This summer, we brought Kansas City and the world together at our booth inside Union Station, where we celebrated a remarkable season of international soccer with original artwork made right here in KC. The booth has closed, but the story continues.
For something truly one of a kind, I also offer original pieces. You can find them at Gallery Crossroads, my studio gallery in the heart of Kansas City's Crossroads Arts District, where original works blend bold expression with timeless design. Visits are by appointment only.
You can also follow along on Instagram, where I share a colorful mix of new artwork, creative projects, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and the latest from The Happiness of Art™. Click the image above to see what I'm up to, and be sure to follow me when you do!
