At the age of 18 he establishing a city wide reputation by airbrushing t-shirts at THE GALLERY, Philadelphia's largest inner city mall during the 1980's.

Shows ranging from Nickelodeons, "The Wild Thornberry's" and "The Rugrats" to Cartoon Networks current live action television pilot, "LEVEL UP" are just a sample of the many productions Dawud has had the opportunity to work on. Dawud's love of art is evident in his work ethic and his mission to produce high quality family entertainment products is an even stronger part of his vision.
