Dale became interested in art at the young age of six, often doodling and sketching his favorite monster characters from films. During his school years Dale received two art recognition awards for print making and character design. He often watched programs on painting techniques which fueled his desire to learn and develop his art skills. After graduating high school Dale attended the Alberta college of Art and Design and began working as a freelance artist contracted for private commissions and mural work. Dale has been published by various independent publishing companies for his cover art work design.
