David R. Burns holds a MFA in Design and Technology from Parsons School of Design. After practicing digital art in New York City for nearly a decade and teaching at Parsons School of Design and Pratt Institute, New York City, David was invited to join the faculty of Southern Illinois University as an assistant professor.

Most notably, his digital animation work has been screened at the National Film Theater in London, the National Museum of Photography Film & Television in Bradford, England, the Red Stick International Animation Festival, and the Chelsea Art Museum in NYC.
