David has appeared in The Guardian, The Age & Sydney Morning Herald, VICE, Pedestrian.TV, The Japan Times, Junkee, MTV, Beat Magazine, Kotaku, Gizmodo, and your mother's diary, amongst others.

You can usually find him having a beer at Paradise Alley, playing pool (badly) at The Cherry Tree Hotel, or enjoying his favourite pizza in the whole world (his mum’s at Bar Novanta).
