The Mercenary Artist
 Welcome to the homepage of David Ault, the Mercenary Artist. Please follow the links to the left to find out more about my work and my life. Why a Mercenary Artist though? Well, it's because I work best when given a task to do and left to run with it. I will happily be very creative and, when given a task, will take it on and put my own unique creative stamp on it.

Ever since living in India for six months, I have rekindled my passion for travel, and have since visited Italy, France, Taiwan in 2009 and toured Canada and America in 2010. I am indebted to the Couchsurfing project, which encourages cultural exchange through welcoming travellers into your home to stay overnight, or to tour a city and so forth.
