David Louis Cintron has been working as a multi-disciplinary artist, designer and musician since 1990. David’s art and music studio is based in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was born and raised. He received a BFA in graphic design, with a minor concentration in Studio Art, from Kent State University.

Art runs deep in David’s blood. His great uncle was Miguel Pou, one of Puerto Rico’s great master painters, and his father, José Cintron, is regarded as one of Cleveland’s finest portrait artists and educators.

David’s work has been featured in both solo and group shows regionally. A recent painting was featured in the 2022 CAN Triennial. He was a part of the rock poster art renaissance in the 1990’s, creating flyers and posters for many area concerts. He is commissioned by musicians and labels for album and t-shirt artwork and creates all of the artwork for the Indonesian music label Seratus Ribu’s curated music mix series.

Among the many bands and musical projects he has been involved with, David fronted both dimbulb and The Downside Special, played electronics in Speaker/Cranker, was a touring bassist in Disengage, a touring guitarist in Pere Ubu, and played with Rhys Chatham in his Guitar Trio All-Stars. His music has been appraised by Julian Cope and licensed for Chrysler. David’s current and longest running band is Terminal Lovers. He is also currently active with soundscape artists, Blind Spring, and releases solo music as David Cintron.
