Dave Kinsey (born 1971, Pittsburgh, PA) is an American contemporary artist and designer who lives in Vista, California.
In 1994, after receiving his arts education at the Art Institute of Atlanta (1991–1993, illustration/design) and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh (1989–1990, fine art/design), Kinsey moved to California to work for the popular brands DC Shoes, Droors, Dub and Blunt snowboard magazine. Soon after, he formed the short-lived design studio First Bureau of Imaging (FBI) with pro-skateboarder and artist Andy Howell, Shepard Fairey and Phillip DeWolff. Unable to resolve conflicts in the partnership, Kinsey left FBI to form BLK/MRKT with Fairey and DeWolff following shortly thereafter.
