What do you use to draw?
I use Adobe Photoshop CS5 and a Wacom Bamboo tablet (mid-size, like 9")
Cheers for being the only person to do the most human interview with him. These are the types of interviews I like, subbed.
Glad you dug it!
This is by far the best interview I've ever seen. Human touch makes the difference between a generic and a complete interview. Great job.
I appreciate it.
La verdad
this interview is so good. I've watched other interviews with David and noe of them captured him quite like this. I found it so interesting hearing you and him speak about random shit rather than just the generic interview questions. A really clever approach to an interview.
I am so fascinated by this man, I just can't express how much I like him and it's really frustrating.
I didn't know he had anxiety, I just kind of assumed it, but hearing him saying it just makes me feel better about my own anxiety, it's weird but I feel like maybe I could really embrace it more since it is a source of inspiration for my drawings and projects
Did you ever see his video "Scribbler"? It's from back in '04, it's a pretty accurate representation of anxiety. I found it very relatable.
i noticed in some of his instagram stories when he makes masks he bites the skin around his nails. as someone who does that a lot i felt a lot less alone
thats so weird I felt the same exact way only difference is it felt really odd to hear him talk about himself and his feelings and it is also frustrating for me not being able to explain how much I like him too and I am too fascinated by him
Am i the only person who thinks that David is absolutely gorgeous!?
Comparing to your pic, hah (No offense, lol, just joking)
no
we brits are all gorgeous...its our distinctive teeth and eyes that rarely see sunshine
no, I adore him xxxx
ahhhh ..DAYLIGHT!!!!!
It's weird how interviews like these make David Firth so much more human and genuine, which makes his work and animations less creepy for some reason and more "interesting" instead, since now you know it's not made by a "mad man" but just by a creative guy. I dunno, i find it strange.
It's like him exorcising his demons - maybe his shadow side.
@htea d alright let's not
On a huge Firth kick since he's release of 'Plastic Hand'. This interview is fantastic, thanks mate!
Great interview! Just a casual conversation where you can get a feeling of what a person is like - was really nice to watch. I wish there were more of these. I love David's work.
Out of many interviews I've seen, this one is definitely my favorite.
Oh wow, I absolutely love your interview style. I first thought David must be some sick person, but he actually is so really sweet and I feel we have loads in common. Much respect for him with this interview!
Now to see about playing some grand theft auto... he made me nostalgic, haha.
His eyes are his best feature. I feel they weren't depicted quite adequately enough.
it's easier to find my place again because i just have to look at how finished the painting is
Thank you for poking around his mind.
I could listen to this interview over and over again, the interviewer did a good job and is a good conversationalist and david is just a very charismatic person, I think everyone is intrigued by what he has to say.
that's so cool you got david firth on here! great interview
Always love to hear what David has to say.
Breath of fresh air man.
keep up the good work.
really enjoyed this concept.
I'm only about 1/2 an hour through this interview but so far, more than anything I find it interesting to see how an American reacts to finding out about the life of the average British person. It's just I think Americans have so little concept of what we Brits are really like, they just have this very skewed media image that doesn't do any justice. This isn't a criticism, just an observation. I think due to the sheer amount of media that pores out from America we really know a lot more about them then they know about us. I know this is all kind of irrelevant but I just find it quite funny seeing Dom's reaction to the idea of bonfire night and finding out that David has probably never seen a real gun before.
I feel like the same thing goes the other way around. But I really love learning about other people's lives- especially when they're different from mine and have new stuff to show me. Thanks for the feedback, man.
Dom's Sketch Cast No problem man. Also I really like what you've done here with this channel, it's a brilliant idea and really deserves more publicity!
Amazing man David is.
Would love to meet him
Nice chat. David is an inspirational animator for sure.
Thanks for listening!
Fantastic interview. Loved how you took a different approach to it. It seems like every interviewer asks the same questions these days & dumbs things down for the viewer. So it was refreshing to see an interviewer having a genuine conversation with the person, it really looked like David enjoyed it. It ended up being quite fascinating. Well done man. :)
I appreciate it. Hope you check out my other convos, too!
very interesting conversation.
i think on the topic of not receiving recognition while being alive, it probably sometimes makes the creator think they should stop but the overwhelming creative urges can't be suppressed. so ultimately even if it is depressing that they aren't getting the attention they think they deserve, they continue doing it anyway
David Firth is awesome.
What a wonderful world this would be if we could all have the courage to be natural and ourselves without forcing a happy happy interesting mask!! Brilliant interview... many thanks to both of you... :-)
I love this video! Your drawing of David Firth is amazing & the conversation between the two of you makes such great listening.
Just a couple of things, I believe Guy Fawkes was hung, not burnt alive.
Around 29:20, you mentioned it was 5:00 & looked really dark outside. (I live in the same City as David Firth). Was that interview filmed around Dec/Jan, by any chance? That time of year it is pretty dark by 5:00pm, but there's still a bit of daylight. When there's heavy rain, there are dark rain clouds in the sky, blocking some of the daylight. Also, that window you looked through may have been facing away from where the sun was setting.
It's very inspiring to listen to you guys talk about being creative and the creative process as well as the mindset that goes along with it.
This channel is awesome. Great concept. Saw your myke c town and fantano interviews too and love how its unrehearsed and how you're not afraid to delve into really deep subject matter. subbed!
I appreciate it, man.
this interview was cool, like many people i thought of course he must be mad. turns out he is quite the intelligent chap. seems like he has taken the fame running and i feel it has been quite beneficial for his well being. beforehand though, i wonder if he was depressed and lonely. anyhow glad to see him find his outlet to the world.
50:58 THIS! I understand that feeling all too well. There's been numerous times where I just wanted to render an animation, finish it and upload it and NEVER re-watch it for a while
Before watching this interview i thought David Firth is like Simon from Misfits.
After watching this interview i know David Firth is like Simon from Misfits.
I love this interview so much! I love that you didn't only talk about the work he does in which he said he was happy about right at the end of the interview. I legit thought at first that David was just some really troubled guy (as many would think at first) but once you would look deeper into his personally rather then what he makes you find out that he's actually a really sweet, kind, and cheerful person. I also found it interesting how he started to talk about the fact he has anxiety and sorta just his feelings in general for a bit. it was pretty odd to hear because I've never heard him talk about that topic but also kinda nice to see him in a sort of vulnerable moment there. through this video I also found ways I could relate to him. also great art as well I am genuinely impressed by that and just this whole video.
edit: 1:26:00 I for some reason found this really funny and how he so casualty said "I made a spinal cord" was very funny
Holy shit he looks like Shaggy
zoinks amirite
Halloween Streets Holy shit, you're right.
I was actually going to watch 5 minutes of this and ended up watching the whole thing somehow. David's funny even when you can see he's not trying. So impressed at his hour long stretch of doing Terry's voice (har har WallerFM)
Ooh, nice interview. It was interesting... Thank you for posting!
He's cute thou.. 😶
Discoverd Davids channel a few days ago and I have fallen in love with his work. really good interview!
David is the god of fucked up animations.
His musical project as Locust Toybox are on par with Aphex Twin, and I LOVE Aphex.
That's exactly what i thought!!!!
I know this is getting old, but this was amazing. Thanks for this, it was very enjoyable.
I appreciate you watching!
I enjoyed this a lot!
I think an awesome personality you could interview-
the creator of Regular Show J.G. Quintel.
This is so great, thanks to the both of you.
Thank you for this humanly sincere and informational/interesting interview. Keep up the good work! :3
this is a great interview, big ups
he plays tf2? that's it i'm sold have my baby david firth
GarlicPoncho That's all it took?
Shapiro Dead King nah tf2 is just the icing on the cake :-)

Shapiro Dead King well thanks :-)
GarlicPoncho ur welcome.
LOVE THIS INTERVIEW
What? So the great chap is a human????
Holy shit, david you're beautiful..
I know i'm pretty late. But i love his artwork.
DAVE MATE I SAW YOUR KUSO MOVIE! really enjoyed your animation work in it and your acting!
always waiting to see more from a fellow NG man! love ya!
Omg, David Firth is so fucking hot.
agreed
What a genius concept. Definitely subbing.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Ohh man, they talk about "the new Duke Nukem game" that came out when I was 11
Love me some Dave
Definitely one of the more smarter interviewers i've seen. Already subscribed. :)
Shady piez!
hahahah "there were just some kids, you know dick eds." knew he was gonna say dick eds, that's how it is in the north.
He sounds like John Lennon.
John Lennon is from Liverpool whilst David is from Doncaster there's a big difference in accents 😆
God the cops coming round and thinking someone can't possibly be dangerous because they're so polite is horribly reminiscent of Elliot Rodger
great interview
You're a beast Dom
Great interview
Beautiful
he kinda looks like the hit man from No Country For Old Men here. Also what a great interview concept. cheers
This would be interesting
Perfect interview! Very fuckin good job lad :D
have you ever done an interview with the edds world crew?
Great interview :) enjoyed it
Ive noticed a lot of his heads have his own head shape
Fascinating!
1:17:08 TOO REAL i hate it when people see what i'm drawing for some reason
PLS PLS PLS INTERVIEW HIM AGAIN
Brings to mind Monty Python.
His voice sounds like Music Mouth's voice :D
GotterVibez you DO know he does most of the voices on his own.
Wow, I actually watched the whole thing, I'm meant to be doing a lesson but ehh
It's probably the hair.
David...David.....
bonfire night is an equivalent to July 4th a celebration of a historical event
10thnametried i think a country’s successful and frankly deserved independence is a little different from some guy trying to kill the king and failing horrifically
I finished it, it picks up. Can people stop coming over to Barrymore's. There's been a terrible accident.
MichaelBarrymore this is so amusing and I have zero clue as to why
Great interview, w/interesting commentary re psycho/sociopathy. esp since chance/choice finds me currently finishing up M.E. Thomas's, "Confessions of a Sociopath." I happened chance upon some free lit & chose to bring it home & read it; well worth price despite dubious title & hideous cover-art. Many here seem pleasantly surprised to find Firth no monstrous, drooling, 3-eyed weirdo, but instead, a handsome, sharp-witted, even-tempered, insightful, gentleman-weirdo, which gave me a giggle, but, u know what they say about still waters & judging books by their covers.
What is that Microphone that David holds up?
Nevermind I found out that its the Tascam dr-100mkii. They're $200 on amazon. I'm totally buying one
Kashaku3 Thank fuckah you posted that. I spent ages looking at 'Field Recorders'.
am i the only one that thinks he ;looks like Peter Dinklage?
This video is ridiculously quiet.
your channel is really underrated
Does he have a girlfriend... I just need to know
🏆 Champion
he looks like peter dinklage.
Dave plays TF2. Yesssssss.
Nothing really compares. It's starting to feel a bit dated though. TF3 would be lovely.
David Firth I imagine it'll come when Half-Life 3 does.
+David Firth (long time fan here) people are so fuckin pissed about the whole DotA card game thing now.
Hmm, approached? As it is asked; 'One thing?' as in One has only one craft - odd language, strange interview. It seems fairly unorganized and incoherent but it was interesting to hear David speak. Thank you for sharing.
I don't think he wanted it to be like a set list of questions. I think he wanted it to be like just two people having a conversation.
Never seen v for vendetta?
o-oh
Like
... Really? Never heard of Guy ?
he's american, not really that surprising
It is really surprising seeming as Anonymous have adopted that classic fawlks mask and the film was huge over there ?
v for vendetta wouldn't necessarily teach someone who had need heard of guy fawkes before about him
I guess people dont look into / research things as much as I do then.. Have a nice evening!
that's probably true a lot of people are very casual listeners and thanks you too
it’s shaggy in the thumbnail
This is a terrible interviewer.
(assuming you reading this) You didn't ask important questions as to 1) what was his first art piece Firth made that was different from the normal social construct we are taught to draw/ create? 2) Did you hide your creation at first from the general public? 3) Did you feel it was a part of your subconscious? 4) Did these creation come to you in visions or dreams?
5) Then you assumed he was bullied? That was an insult
6) You compared yourself to him, (no offence to you and not glorifying Firth) each artist is unique and has a form of energy to share with the world. Firth is his own energy, don't ever compare yourself to him or anyone. Firth isn't god, he is just another soul passing through this time frame with us, sharing his energy with us.
Thank you Firth.
what the fuck Dom doesn't like Duke Nukem.
kindaa...
Seeing that they guy is black at 29:30 was a total twist
+lobster steve lol noob
20 minutes in and they're still just talking crap you talk down the pub. Who wants to come over to Barrymore's for a swim?
skip the bullshit 0:39:00
