David "Halfpint" Martin is a lifelong resident of Zenba Odan (the Potawatomi name for South Bend, Indiana). David’s distinctive style is influenced by the traditional aesthetics of the indigenous people of the Great Lakes as well as his personal love of science fiction, fantasy and story telling.

His professional career started with tattoo and body art, but he has since mastered the mediums of digital art, oil painting, ribbon applique and beadwork. A citizen of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, David's oil paintings can be seen on display in many of the tribe's government and gaming facilities. He is also a traditional dancer in Native American pow-wows.
