Biography

Dave Trainor was born in 1960 in Ontario, Canada. He began his journey as an artist very early, fed in childhood on a steady diet of Hammer Horror, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, and the wonders of Disneyland and the Southern California culture. At age seven, he began sketching animals, hot rods and monsters for his classmates. He moved on in high school to creative endeavors that included painting rock tour t-shirts for ten bucks a pop and selling them to his friends, family, or anyone else who would buy one. His post-secondary years were spent at the Alberta College of Art and Design. Some of his past films include “Blade 2″, and “Tucker and Dale vs. Evil”. He currently works on AMC’s “Hell on Wheels” and “Fargo”.
