Always fascinated with color and experimentation, Mr. Holtzman always excelled in art from early childhood through college years and beyond to the present. He even had a pastel drawing of horses on display at the Philadelphia Convention Civic Center at the age of 8 years old.
It is said that very often art or creative talents are in oneís genetic background, which in this case, could be his father, Alex Holtzman, born and raised in New York. Mr. Holtzmanís father studied fine art and textile design in Philadelphia, at the Philadelphia College of Art & Textiles, and after World War II ended up in the textile industry. At which time he and his wife, Doris Holtzman, Davidís mother lived permanently in Philadelphia, PA.
Besides David Holtzman enjoying art in the public school art system, year after year, he also attended Saturday morning art classes in Philadelphia. After finishing high school(early age, just turning 17). Mr. Holtzman enrolled in a four year art program at the Hussian School of Art, Inc. in Philadelphia.

At that time May 1973 David Holtzman was the youngest graduate of the school, and throughout school nicknamed ěGolden Boyî, and by some fellow students, "The Master" due to his talent and age.
Mr. Holtzman had received his first freelance illustration commission a few weeks prior to graduation.

These would be color & design courses, which also became a preliminary entrance into illustration.
Mr. Holtzman then relocated to the Southern New Jersey Shores, near by Atlantic City in 1980. Always getting bored, and needing to try different styles and mediums, at that time Mr.Holtzman worked at a local advertising agency, and soon thereafter, started his own design firm agency, up until and including the present. In the late 1980s Mr. Holtzman started dedicating more time in the fine art direction, by creating, numerous portraits and sculpture of a variety of vintage and contemporary movie stars, along with famous people.
