Artist, designer, and creative writer Dave Lowe came to Los Angeles in the late ’80s chasing illustration work—then found his real lane by saying yes to whatever needed making. Nickelodeon sets, Sci‑Fi Channel builds, Hallmark how‑tos, public art boxes, City Hall’s elephant, and finally a Tournament of Roses float: a career built on craft, community, and the joy of turning ideas into real objects.
